Her formal side says respectability, manners and morality. Her one catty eye and partially covered face of iridescent blond hair caps off her top. Reclaimed jewelry adorns her neck in the form of a choker. Down through her fancy ruffled collar tipped with millefiori, the eye casually rests on her iridescent heart on the left. Strands of orange and red direct the flow downward through a ruffles hemline, stockings and dancing shoes. Think tango baby.
On her flip side, fun loving, carefree a not to the Cindy Lauper song "Girls Just Want to have Fun" and her Broadway starring role in "Kinky Boots.
Various glass tessera, 14 karat gold, sterlings silver and found objects have been lovingly placed on a wooden base. The wood is finished in satin black.

Born in Bordeaux, France, by the age of six Patrizia had crisscrossed three continents. At age seven Patrizia was creating geometric abstracts in oil pastels. School years saw Patrizia the recipient of numerous art prizes, culminating in a Gold — National Scholastic Key Award in New York. She graduated Magna Cum Laude in graphic design at Art Institute of Atlanta and spent 25 years in marketing and communications at the helm of a top Houston, Texas design firm. In 2000 Patrizia returned to her art full time, opening a Caribbean studio in 2005.
Patrizia's art is found in museums, public gardens and private collections across the globe. Her largest commission: a 12 sqm (35 sql) mosaic swimming pool overlooking the Caribbean waters. Her art is showcased in "Mosaic Art Today", a fine art book featuring top international artists, Schiffer Publishing, NY. Patrizia relocated to Italy in 2016 seeking new influences and further artistic growth. She opened at the Ligurian State Museum marventimiglia.com with "Madre Terra: In our Hands" in the summer of 2019. The three-month solo show featured 27 paintings and three large statues.
Her life and art, a divide between "Old World" and "New World" examines cultural differences, spirituality and beliefs, interpretations of past influences, societal change and interchange. Her lighter and brighter works reflect beauty, hope and a gratefulness to nature — motion and texture playing an important part in her creations. The plight of women and humanity in our contemporary culture is also a focus in Patrizia's work, "those who live a life they did not choose — of freedom in absentia."
Today, Patrizia continues her studied in ancient civilizations and archeology, a passion acquired during her years living and travel in the Mediterranean and Texas . . . and her journey of exploration and diversity continues — of place, culture and time.
