Graduating with a degree in Nursing and Business Administration over the years, she managed to steal moments to paint in a variety of mediums. Eventually, she discovered a penchant for botanical watercolors. She has studied at a number of schools, including the University of Minnesota, the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Como Park Conservatory and for the past several years, the Minnesota School of Botanical Art.
Patti has exhibited at Como Conservatory and at the Grand Old Days Art Show, 2013. She is a member of the Great River Chapter of the American Society of Botanical Artists.
