About Pat
A warm welcome from me: HandCraftsByPat, HCBPat or just Pat. I hope you enjoy
taking a tour through my catalog of unique, one-of-a-kind hand painted and personalized
works of art. May you find something to treat yourself, or a unique gift for a special
occasion. All of my hand painted pieces are designed and individually signed by
me, HCBPat.
I am a self-taught artist of decorative painting who has always had
a passion to “Create to Decorate”. Although I have been following my creative flair
in a wide genre for a long time, decorative painting has been my passion for a number
of years. I find nothing more fulfilling than to take a blank “canvas” and transform
it into a stunning and unique piece of art that brings a smile to your face, warmth
to your heart and a touch of beauty to your life. I hand paint on a variety of surfaces
including candles, vases, plates, pottery, wood…just about anything I can get my
hands on.
Some of my favorite decorative painting artists, whom I admire and whose
techniques I utilize, include Donna Dewberry of One Stroke Painting, Jaime Mills-Price
and Jo Sonja for their whimsical designs, and Priscilla Hauser for her love of flowers,
especially roses.
My inspiration comes from Mother Nature’s backyard that holds
an endless rainbow of color, fantasy and magic. When you look at the clouds in the
sky, Do you see what I see?..........Did I really hear the faintest giggle coming
from the butterfly gliding through my flower garden?
I reside in Central Florida
with my “jewel” of a daughter, Becky (soon to be a featured artist) and my loving,
bundle of fluff, my Pomeranian, Andromeda.
My mission – well that’s easy – To brighten
your day with a hand painted gift from my heart to yours.
