About the Artist

Patricia Auguste is originally from the D.C. metro area but has spend her adult life outside of Philadelphia.   In her early years as a painter she studied at the Corcoran Art Museum in Washington,  with Ralph Deburgess in Georgetown and as a studio major at Gettysburg College. For many years, she worked out of a studio in Philadelphia and was represented by Rosenfeld Gallery on Arch St. in Old City. Currently she works on abstract paintings, still life studies and the landscapes of Provence, Philadelphia, the Chesapeake Bay, and the American Southwest. The plein air approach to capturing the landscape provides a direct and visceral experience while providing lots of time outdoors.  Abstract painting is also important and very gratifying as it lends itself to direct problem solving without the need to replicate.
