|
Patti is an acrylic
painter, has a BA in English from the University of Vermont and studied art at Central Florida Community College in Ocala. She specializes in portraits of children doing what children do, and captures "slice of life" likenesses, as well as formal portraiture. Florida landscapes and the endangered places that are being destroyed by relentless development, hold special appeal to her since the Ocala area is fast changing from a sleepy Florida environment into the predictable flat urban sprawl. |

Patricia has taken a hobby
and turned it into a career. The continued evolution of Patricias
photography can be seen throughout her work. Indeed, a new perspective
shines through with the advent of Positively Negative Expressions by
Patricia Roberts. Seeing is believing and seeing from a different
perspective is truly inspiring. Positively Negative asks us to examine
our closely held beliefs about what we see and feel. It moves us
effortlessly to a new plain and begs us to see through unpolluted eyes
the world around us. Open your mind, walk through the images and enjoy
the view. Her photos can be seen at
