Pati Trippel's Art & Bio
Pati Trippel and her husband, Alan, moved to Hot Springs Village via Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana, New York and California in late 2007. Having double majored in Art and Elementary Education at Purdue University, her multi-faceted career has taken her to IBM as a systems engineer, owner of three Laundromats a hand-scrub distributorship, legal secretary, teacher of after school art classes, faux painter and muralist, and a finally as a ten year restaurateur. She was ordained as an interfaith minister in 2010 by the One Spirit Interfaith Seminary and is a Shalem certified spiritual director and companion. Through all these varied careers and the raising of her three sons, Rob, Dan and Tom, creating works of art is a constant in her life. She now particularly enjoys creating unique personalized gifts for all of her ten grandchildren, aged 2 months to 15 years old. Though Pati is accomplished in watercolors, pastels, pencil, acrylics, art quilting, polymer clay and charcoal, she has recently focused on her paintings using acrylic dyed tissue collage as an abstract realist. In her work, she seeks to capture the spiritual essence of her subject and allow her viewer to participate in the creative process of interpreting her vivid paintings. A lover of nature, her landscapes, florals and nature studies are crisp, clean, fresh and vibrant with color. Snake skins, grasses, pine needles, wild flowers, leaves and butterfly wings, are often incorporated into her work as she weaves reality and fantasy through her paintings.
