Pat
Dunn finds the smell of paint, the expressive colors of her palette and the
sound of a moving brush across the canvas as a way to discover the simple
pleasures of a visible adventure in her everyday life. She has learn to appreciate the beauty of
God’s creation in sun-bursting skies, silent shadows, gentle sea breezes,
overcast mornings, dancing waters and vibrant colors of a simple garden. She enjoys capturing pensive
moments of people discovering the beauty of our world whether in a gallery or
on the sea shore. These are the sensations that drive Pat to the canvas. Nature
is her studio and beckons her to seek the ever changing light and colors that
always excites the working artist. She
finds that is more fascinating to observe the expression of beauty in the
simple things of life. Pat enjoys seeking the sensitive quality of what she
feels rather than what she sees. Painting to her is more than recording the
visual moment but more what she feels in her heart and soul.

Pat
Dunn loves painting on location in the early mornings when the light is ever
changing and the world is beginning to come into focus. She likes to take a
chance on her emotions and finds real joy in expressing her fulfillment of
being a visual communicator through her creative responses.
Her
life has not always been linked to art. She moved from Louisiana to Florida
after a career in the medical field. She has since been transplanted to
Tennessee and knows her love for the expression of light and color will always
be a vital part of her artistic expression, no matter where she sets up her
easel.
She
has exhibited in Sarasota, Bonita Springs, Sanibel Island, Useppa Island,
Giverny France and Fort Myers. She has traveled to France to study with Gale
Bennett at ArtStudy Giverny and has participated in numerous exhibitions in
Southwest Florida. Painting is her
passion pursued with a great desire to glorify her Creator!
