Pat Angevine
-Artist-
I was born in Chicago, Ill. and grew up in Miami, Fla. I first began painting at nine years old, after taking a YMCA summer art class. My formal training started in a sketch class with many of the local Disney artists, and continued with Mercedes Bennett, a local commercial artist, and then with Georges Sellier, a tapestry designer from the Beaux- Arts.During High School, I worked at R.J. Menu company illustrating menus.
In 1958 I received a scholarship to attend Wellesley College, where I studied art history and attended a studio course.
The following year I married my childhood sweetheart, transferred to the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, and immediately had the first of four children, which postponed both my college and art work for ten years.
In 1968 I studied at the DeCordova Museum School and in 1969 at the Boston Museum School. In 1970 I was accepted at Massachusetts College of Art, where I fell in love with water color. In 1971 I completed a B.F.A. at the University of Colorado.During the following years, painting again took a back seat to the necessities of being a single parent raising four children. After leaving Colorado, I lived in Anchorage, Alaska for twenty years, where I met my husband Jeremy. We moved to Richmond, Virginia in 1998 to be closer to my grandchildren, and this is where I happily resumed painting in earnest. In the summer of 2018 we made a decision to relocate permanently to the Lake Chapala Region of Mexico.

My paintings are intertwined with the space, time, feeling, and emotions of the time during which they are painted.
Because I experience life as an interpenetrating flow rather than as a frozen image, their design is organized according to meaning rather than surface appearance.I use color, shapes, transparency, interpenetrating forms and calligraphic lines to create layered paintings that are poetic and evocative of complex concepts.

"Pat Angevine's works are rich in deep, dark colors and have soft, flowing forms. Although the works are primarily abstract, the artist sometimes adds realistic details to make a specific subject come through. “
Judy Myers, Colorado
"Transparent, ephemeral planes of color collide and intersect - she (Angevine) constructs a kinetic space exploding with color and energy”

Whenever someone asks my husband about the way I work, he explains "Oh, she just makes a mark on the paper, and then corrects it until it is done"

Some have inquired about the background texture used in this site.
This is the background's story:
On August 19, 1992 Mount Spurr, a volcano located in the Alaska Range about 80 miles south of Anchorage, Alaska erupted. Its plume grew high in the sky and the prevailing winds carried it directly over the city, turning a bright day into night, and raining hissing, sulfurous ash for hours. By the next day the entire city was under a thick blanket of fine grey ash covering every surface. Fascination compelled Jeremy to collect a few vials of this volcanic output.
Years later, during the very earliest days of website design, Jeremy was searching for a pleasing background against which to present artwork on the Web. Unable to locate anything suitable, he poured a small amount of this volcanic ash onto a scanner to create an image file.
