PATRICIA TO PRESENT ENCAUSTIC
Meeting on April 17th

Patricia Seggebruch will be the featured speaker at our EAFA Members’ meeting on April 17th. She is self-taught, and has painted in encaustic and mixed media for nine years. Her work has been shown from Michigan to Washington. She enjoys playing with new ideas that incorporate a variety of mediums into her work. The nature of her work allows for experimentation and interplay of materials without getting caught up in any limitations of medium, style or discipline. For instance, it can vary from watercolor under encaustic, to using acrylics as a basis for oil, to pastel worked into a watercolor collage.

Patricia also teaches workshops and holds demonstrations in the Seattle and Portland areas. In 2008, she will teach through the Sitka Center for the Arts in Oregon, ArtFest Port Townsend in Washington, and at the Mendocino Art Center in California, as well as in her studio. Patricia is in process of creating a workshop format encaustic book for publication through North Light Books in the Fall of 2008. She has been the recipient of numerous awards such as Associated Arts of Ocean Shores Annual Show; Arts Central Oregon National Juried Exhibition; Michigan Historical Museum; and California Watercolor Association National Exhibition.

Patricia’s work has been featured in a number of publications: including New Art International, Book Art Press; Motlow College Press, Literary Journal; Daniel Smith Reference Catalog; and ArtAccess. Her paintings are held in collections in Washington, California and Australia.
