BoldBrush Recommends: Patricia LappinGet Notified When Patricia Posts New Art BiographyChildhood: My desire to create was very strong and drawing was my refuge, my sanctuary. It was an inner compulsion to be separate from the world sometimes. I was content to spent hours drawing leaves, branches and bugs. A school field-trip to the St Louis Art Museum opened my eyes, adults took painting and drawing seriously, what a revelation! From age 10 to 14, I studied painting on Saturday mornings with a highschool art teacher. After highschool, I attended SMS in Springfield, Mo. for 4 semesters, taking every available art course, intro to design, color, etc., but I only wanted to learn to paint like the paintings I had seen at the St Louis Art Museum and that was not happening. I met my husband, married and became a mother. I was still painting, but unsure of the new "adult artist" me. We moved to Fairfield, CT. near NYC. There I met my teacher. Becoming an Artist: Caesar Cirigliano became my teacher and mentor for 5 years. Working with only black, white, yellow ocher and burnt sienna for the first 3 years, he taught me portrait, landscape and still life painting. We spent many hours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC studying the masters. Working with Ceasar was the greatest education I could have. From 1970 to 1975 he led me from an insecure young adult struggling to believe in my artist-future to a confident artist in multiple mediums. As he was leaving for Florida to retire, I ask him "who would be my teacher now?" His answer formed my future. "Don't you know? You are the teacher now. You have the foundation now." When I began teaching I used my notes from the 5 years of study with Caesar. I still use them today. I opened my first studio in 1980 and began teaching and showing my work in the tri-state area. We moved to my husband's family home in Ft. Smith AR in 1996. Since then I have been represented by galleries in Kansas City MO, Scottsdale AZ, and Van Buren AR. I have shown my work at the Ft Smith Art Center and the Center for Art and Education many times. I teach private classes and workshops. My paintings are in many private and public collections. In October, 2016 I moved to Boca Raton FL. I have joined the Plein Air Palm Beach group, exploring new scenes and making new friends, seeking out galleries and other venues for showing/selling my paintings and teaching. I took an on-line course in 2021 called CVP2021 - Creative Visionary Program 2021 with Nicholas Wilton, originator of Art2Life. This 3 month-course changed my art approach and allowed me to develop a strong abstract base of paintings that feels so good and definitely authentic me. I now have a studio at Zero Empty Spaces at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus in Boca Raton, Fl. I am also teaching workshops in AR and FL.
