Wife, Mother and Self taught Artist !

My Background

Welcome to my art journey!  From my early days in the 'rag-trade' of London to my current role as an NHS administrator, art has always been my passion and refuge, being a constant throughout my life, and helping me navigate life's challenges. I'm proud to have used my artwork to support causes close to my heart, and contributing to other meaningful charities. 

​

After sadly losing my Dad (at my age now) to cancer, my greatest accomplishment was to help raise vital funds for Kidney Cancer UK, where, I painted the flower fairies in Ipswich Hospital Neo-Natal Ward and Winnie the Pooh in EACH, (East Anglian Children's  Hospice), and along with my husband and sister, we also did a sponsored abseil from the top of Ipswich Hospital, with this whole project raising well over £10,300!  

​

As an artist, I thrive on exploring new challenges and opportunities with every project. From painting canvases and wall murals to professional face and body painting, I find joy in transforming blank spaces into vibrant works of art.

 

Having experience working in Mental Health, within the NHS, I see even more, the importance of engaging individuals, communities, and organisations through the transformative power of painting. I believe that art is a vital tool for promoting creativity and self-expression, especially in today's fast-paced world.  I feel a relaxing creative hobby like painting can lead to greater inner peace and improved mental well-being.​​​

Frequently asked questions

​​

Are food and drink included?

No - food and drink are not included in the ticket price unless explicitly stated.

​

Refunds
I can no longer attend an event I have purchased a ticket for, can I cancel?

Please be aware that all ticket sales are final. Tickets are non refundable. Please see T&Cs below for more information.

​

What is the minimum age?

We suggest over 14s as the event is sold as an adults painting class. Some of our venues don’t allow under 18s, and others do not allow children in the bar areas so please check with us before purchasing a ticket for under 18s. 

 

Do you run private events?

We do! We run events for all occasions - hen parties, corporate away days, team events, birthday parties, retirement parties etc

 

What time should I arrive?

Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the event start time so that you can order food or get yourself a drink. Please note if you arrive more than 15 minutes after the event start time you may not be able to join the event.

 

I can’t paint, can I attend?

Most of our customers haven’t painted since they were children. All of our paintings are designed for fun and adaptability. We want you to have a good time, get creative and relax.  I will loosely guide you through the painting, so you can choose to follow or do your own thing. 

 

Who will be running the event?

I am an professional artist and run the events, as Painting with Pat! 

 

Is this an art class?

It isn’t your usual ‘art class’. Everyone paints the same picture but everyone will have their own style and you are guided through the process by myself. It is a fun, feel-good event. This is an experience, and not a technical art 'lesson'.  The aim of these workshops is to come away feeling relaxed after having a fun informal time, painting with like minded others in the group sessions.
