Patricia Crotty is an expressionist painter whose work combines bold gestural brushwork with a sureness of line and color, combining abstract and figurative elements to suggest landscapes, structures, and events. She studied painting and multimedia at the Sorbonne university in Paris, and she has exhibited in juried and group shows in Paris, Amsterdam, and the Boston area. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and Europe.
