Illustrations
Patricia’s BFA degree was in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and early on she worked in several cities doing illustration. Fine art superceded the commercial work, but there have been a few occasions to make prints or book illustrations, examples of which are below.

Book Illustration
Pat was honored in 2013 when she was asked by Henry Hamilton to illustrate his enchanting book of scary poems for children. They worked together with Pat Gott as editor and advisor, and Laura Ashton, layout advisor, to publish the book that resulted (see below). It was one of the most enjoyable labors of Pat's career to imagine and execute the scenarios evoked by Henry’s poetry.
