Baba Link Farm Inspiration
Most of Pat's artwork has been based on Baba Link Farm and the near landscape - like this nocturnal painting of a large Black Walnut tree in the centre of the farm. More about that is listed in the Hamilton Arts & Letters The Final Edition, specifically in the article Home is Land with images for the article in Portfolio Baba Link Farm .
A changing perspective
Organic, biodiverse farming has changed Pat's approach to art:
"In observing, learning from, and working with nature; the symbolic image seems to embody the essence of a tree or plant or animal. The symbolic form I am drawn to is Ukrainian folk art. It is part of my land based heritage. It is an old art form, but not a static one. It allows me to create symbols that are authentic to my experience with this land."
