Patricia is a painter and graduate student at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, taking up Art Education. Why art education? Because art has always been part of her life since she was 5 years old. She chose to keep it as part of her career by helping the young generation with their learning development by introducing them to a creative lifestyle. Showing them that they can incorporate art and creative thinking into almost everything they want to do. Maybe even break their interest in Visual Arts along the way.

As a teaching artist, she is passionate about advocating teaching through visual art. As a creative, and art educator, she wants to help bridge the gap between young children's curiosity and creative learning through visual art. Showing that children can learn complex topics through engaging with traditional art.

As a painter, Patricia surrounds herself with nature in her every day, hoping to catch the natural environment through her paintings. For the aim to inspire viewers to respect and look at nature, the way she has. She intends to promote the act of being present in ones surrounding; taking the time to look at the fine details of mother nature.
