A tribute to Pat Simmons
(1949-2022):
Pat was an EAA member since 2003, a friend and a regular
participant at art shows and meetings. Pat was
thrilled to have a One Woman Show at the Fairmount Center
for the Arts in December 2021.
From the time she was four years old, Pat has been an
artist. Art was truly her life. She attended the
Cleveland Institute of Art, and graduated with a Bachelor of
Fine Arts degree from Cleveland State University. Pat
taught art in the Cleveland area for twenty years. She loved
to draw. Her abstract mixed media collage paintings
are detailed with acrylic, pastels and markers. Her
juxtaposition of bold colors and soft blends are
refreshingly different and expertly executed. Patricia
said color is the most important part of her art. Over
the years, her art evolved into something she never
imagined. She has won many awards, produced ‘four'
one-woman shows and several group shows. Her personal
goal as an artist was to one day have her art in an art
museum….and that may yet happen! |
