Patricia Marie Trudeau is a professional artist living in the Capital Region of New York State. She was born and raised in Northport, New York, where, as a small child she began to study art from two local art teachers. Growing up on Long Island, Patricia would often ponder and meditate by the sea. Art was her first language. This impacted her work years later. The sea became her base reference, and the image of water is constant throughout her works; other inspirations include her interest into the evolution of human spirit, nature, and God.
Patricia, who attended the College of St. Rose and majored in Studio Art, also studied traditional and nontraditional art techniques. She graduated with a Bachelors of Science with Magna Cum Laude. Patricia won an art scholarship to the College of New Rochelle and second place in a Long Island competition. She has been featured in a number of newspapers; in addition, after winning first place in the art exhibition at the College of St. Rose, she debuted on public TV. She also won first place in the Reflections art competition held at Christ's Church in Guilderland, New York.
Throughout the years, Patricia has constantly sought out ways to exhibit her work regionally and nationally through galleries and murals. Two of Patricia's paintings, created while she was in the fourth grade, are still at the St. Phillip Neri Elementary School in Northport, New York. Paintings, murals, and sculpture are the expressions of her soul that she wishes to share. In July of 2010, Patricia painted a large mural for the Saint Ambrose School in Latham, New York. Sadly this was painted over, but years later people have approached her and commented on her mural, expressing how much it it affected them. She affects viewers emotions through her art. The mural was was 'Christ Loves the Children'. It remains on her website. Patricia has also created murals for a daycare in the Heery Center in Albany, a residential home in Scotia, a Foster Care building in Albany.
Patricia Marie Trudeau is the owner and teacher at River House Art Studio in Latham, NY. She holds art lessons in her in-home studio throughout the week. She focuses on the complexity and diversity of expressing the inner self through unleashing creativity. She teaches her students how to 'see' before she teaches technique. She is now expanding her collection through prints of her original work and other fine art products, including canvas wraps. She is also planning on having her work printed on pillows and more.
When she is not busy painting or teaching, Patricia spends time with her husband, her family and friends, her dog, plants and cats. She has lost many loved ones including her best friend. In the late summer of 2018 her beloved dog Yafah passed over. He dog was a therapy-trained dog for nursing homes and schools for 10 years, only to retire in her last few years. Patricia has painted her companion as well as many that have passed. One friend subscribed her as a 'soul painter.' Patricia and her husband are the proud of parents of three boy/men - their three most precious Masterpieces. Her Life is expanding and moving. Patricia also has many precious grandchildren, that she calls her treasures.
Patricia Marie Trudeau describes her life as a railroad track: 'One side is family, the other-side is her Art. Both are soul expressions needing nurturing.'
