Check Out Patricia Anders’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Patricia Anders.

Hi Patricia, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
In 2004 I got my first computer, I taught myself how to use it and in doing so I discovered online art groups, communities and like minded people. These communications encouraged me to find venues, I started with eBay and Etsy, fairs and gallery shows to submit to.
Being an artist is a rocky road no sugar coating it but I remain committed and get up every day with the purpose of creation and will never retire.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
If I had to make a living selling my art I would have starved but my husband supports my efforts and I continuously work at my development and do all I can to be the best artist I can be.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m primarily a painter, it’s what I always go back to. I also love assemblage and art doll making. I’m proud of my altered art dolls where I use methods I discovered from trial and error. They remain unique from the methods and efforts of other artists.
My subject matter emerges from my imagination, unfolds organically and guided by a desire to invite contemplation or stir emotions.

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Risk taking is absolutely necessary for growth. No risk, no break through. Avoiding risk may create technically fine work, but embracing risks has a chance to create something unforgettable.
Risk is courage, challenging norms, uncomfortable subjects drives social and cultural change.
Failure is part of risk, so no growth if one doesn’t take a fearless chance. Experimenting and pushing boundaries can lead to unexpected discoveries.
