Patricia Hadley

Patricia Hadley creates uplifting artwork, using vibrant colors and upbeat images. Many of her recent blue paintings and mixed media pieces create the feeling of being by the sea, boating, and enjoying the beach. The beauty of our earth is reflected in the photos she takes and sometimes incorporates into her mixed media paintings along with found images and objects.

She also studied art history and art education. Later she took courses at Art Students League. She also took courses with Miriam Shapiro, Steve Lampasona, Susumu Shingu, Aieda Whedon, and others.
