Artistic prompts will be provided along with plenty of guidance and personal attention!

Patricia Saxton

An equally accomplished painter, illustrator, writer and graphic designer, creativity is Patricia’s passion.

Her long creative career includes a lifetime devoted to the fine arts, as well as decades serving Fortune 500 clientele, entrepreneurs and everything in between, with projects ranging from illustration to branding campaigns to packaging to books. She is also the author-illustrator of an inspirational design book and three best-selling children’s books.

Fluidly shifting between realism and abstraction, her approach across mediums is both intuitive and disciplined, guided by an eye for detail, a spirit of originality, and a deep sensitivity for light and color. Widely exhibited from the New York/Philadelphia area to the Southwest, her works hang in private collection across the US and abroad.

Patricia finds continual inspiration in nature, imagination, and the process of creating itself—and finds great joy in encouraging others to explore their own artistic voice.
