ARTIST INFORMATION

Pat Vickers is a Canadian artist,born in Toronto, Ontario and now living in White Rock, British Columbia.

Her introduction to art classes started on the west coast with local courses, leading to drawing and painting workshops in Ontario, British Columbia and Washington State. She works mainly in watercolour but also enjoys the mediums of acrylic and pastel.

“To discover a new passion in mid life is one of life’s greatest gifts. Watercolour has captivated me for many reasons…the whiteness and limitless possibilities of a blank sheet of paper, the way the pigments mix with water, the challenge to control the flow, the translucency of the medium, the delight in “lucky accidents”, the discovery of new techniques, the lesson of patience, the joy in learning, and the opportunity to meet, study and paint with a wonderful group of talented people. Recently my work has become more semi-abstract and I am enjoying working and experimenting in this freer style.”

Pat is a member of the Vancouver Art Guild and the Westcoast Calligraphy Society, and a supporting member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Her work is on display at the Hunter Bisset Gallery. She has been involved in numerous group exhibitions and has had solo showings in Vancouver.

Pat works out of her studio in White Rock, BC. Her paintings are in private collections in Canada, Europe and the United States.
