Pat shares," As an artist, I have 3 primary intentions: to continue the lifelong process of developing and growing as an artist, to create paintings that are exquisite, elegant and luscious and to inspire others".
She is a Signature Member and Past President of the Georgia Watercolor Society and a member of Oil Painters of America. Her work has been featured in over 70-juried shows and over a dozen “one woman” exhibits. North Light Books recently published her work in Splash 11: The Best of Watercolor. Pat’s family name “Fiorello” comes from an Italian lineage meaning “one who lives near a wall of flowers,” so it’s no accident that she is drawn to painting flowers and other scenes which capture the essence and beauty of nature. She has studied at Halls Floral Design School to deepen her understanding of flowers and floral arrangements and integrate that into her paintings.
Self taught at first, Pat later studied with noted artists, including Robert Johnson, Hedi Moran, Mel Stabin, Betty Carr and Charles Reid to develop her talents and skills. In 2002, she left her V.P. marketing position with The Coca-Cola Company to pursue her passion for art and concentrate on painting full time. She enjoys igniting others passion for painting by teaching classes in Atlanta, and workshops in other beautiful places in the U. S., Caribbean and Europe.
Pat's paintings are also available at Frameworks Gallery in Marietta, GA, the Spencer Gallery in Charleston, S.C., The Art House in Atlanta, GA, and the Burton Gallery in Clarkesville, GA.
