Artist Statement/Bio
Patricia Schiener was born in Little Washington, Pennsylvania, moved to Wilmington, NC for several years, and then spent many years teaching Social Studies with a Department of Defense Middle School in Europe. She had also taught art to students as an after school activity. Upon retirement she and her husband have since moved to Raleigh, NC near to where their two sons and grandchildren reside.
Patricia, a self-taught artist, has since childhood been drawing and painting, with a special interest in soft pastels. She finds great enjoyment and relaxation in creating and developing her artwork. Nature with its serenity, has been a source of inspiration for her and has greatly contributed to her love of painting landscapes, seascapes, the human form, and animal life. She is often commissioned to do pet and house portraits.
Upon a recent move to Raleigh, NC, she is continuing to create and find inspiration within her new environment. She is presently an active member of the Pastel Society of NC, and has been juried into many art shows, winning many awards.
