Patrizia K Ingram
Patrizia is a local artist and watercolorist is the Monterey Bay Area. She paints daily taking small breaks for teaching watercolor classes in-between her commissions. She discovered her love for watercolors two years ago although she has been painting in oils since childhood. Inspired by the spectacular scenery of the Monterey Peninsula she started painting based on location.
Patrizia lives in Monterey with her husband, an Army officer, and daughter who just started preschool. Her work has been featured in multiple exhibitions across Monterey and Salinas. Currently you can find her painting in many Monterey CA Art galleries such as Salinas Government Bld Alisal Street, The National Steinbeck Center, The Salinas Hospital as well as the Dali Museum in Monterey.
Patrizia says about her work "My paintings are a dedication to my love of nature and all the natural specimens you can find around me, no matter what place I currently live. When painting, attention is brought to these unassuming objects in a unique way, always looking to combine the unexpected. My paintings act to reintroduce the wonder found around the nature to focus interest in motifs that are often taken for granted or overlooked and to inspire conservation of the ocean/environment."
