North Carolinian, Patricia Savage has been a full-time fine artist since 1989. She has been a professional artist since 1987. She enjoys the freedom as an artist to explore primarily both chalk pastels and oil techniques because of the richness of feelings and textures that each medium allows for the expression of her visual ideas.
Several of Patricia’s botanical paintings are featured in Today's Botanical Artists. The Pastel Journals’ 6th Annual Pastel 100 Competition awarded Patricia with Best in Wildlife and Honorable Mention in Wildlife. She served as Artist in-Residence in Denali National Park and joined Smith College and PBS The 1899 Harriman Expedition Retraced: A Century of Change. Her work has appeared in The Best in Wildlife Art 1 and 2, Focus Magazine (Italy), US Art, Wildlife Art, and Wildlife in North Carolina. She has exhibited at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, the Bell Museum of Natural History, the National Geographic Society, the U. S. Botanic Gardens, and Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. She is a signature member of the Pastel Society of American and the Society of Animal Artists.
Patricia teaches at the University of North Carolina Botanical Garden’s Botanical Illustration Certificate Program and is a member of the NCBG’s Advisory Council. She teaches workshops and classes in Watercolor, Pastel, Composition, Drawing, and Color Theory. She has also given lectures about her adventures as well as her avocation to various groups and museums.
