Pat White of Bennington, VT, is a new resident of Vermont. Before moving there in 2013, she was co-owner of White Wagon Farm, a small specialty nursery specializing in herbs, perennials, and antique roses.
She is also an artist. After her formal training in art at the Memphis Academy of Art in the 1970s, she worked as an artist in the schools before opening her nursery in 1988. There she devoted her primary artistic activities to designing gardens.
Then in early 2004, she found a house that needed to be moved. That 1400 square foot, 1920’s bungalow in need of intensive TLC was the seed that she planted in a grassy field at her nursery. Named “Sage House” to evoke the herbal connection with the nursery, the silvery green color of its exterior, and the wisdom of a “sage”, it has grown into a studio, gathering place, and creative center. In 2007, Pat converted her nursery garden shop into Sage House Gallery to provide a place for her art to be shown.
Now, living in a historic house in the village of Old Bennington, Pat continues to paint still life, landscape, and her favorite subject - the figure.
Pat White joined Fine Art America on December 8th, 2008.
