Patricia M. Gray has worked in oils and pastels for over 30 years. The surroundng landscape has been her inspitation for masterful composition and sensitive use of color. Bringing more than just the visual impact of the scene, Gray tries to engage the viewer's senses; to feel the wind, textures and smells of nature. Gray invokes the technique of "en plein air", a practice introduced by the French in the early Impressionistic era by painting on site, immersing herself in the landscape.

She holds the prestigious honor of being a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America. Her work can be found in numerous private and corporate collections both in the United States and abroad.

Patricia currently teaches painting and drawing at the South Shore Art Center in Cohasset, MA.
