Patricia Cotterill

I was born in Scotland, I have lived in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. I now reside in Asheville NC with my husband. All these places have left a deep impression and have given me a better understanding of the people and their cultures of art, music and food.
After painting in watercolor for several years, oil paint is now my medium of choice. I love the feel of the thick soft buttery paint and I try to show that in my work.
My subjects are of people, places and animals. I take my camera everywhere with me and paint back at my studio the images I have captured, a moment in time, a diary of everyday life.
Light, shapes and color are my focus and hopefully I can be happy with what ends up on the canvas. I hope you are too!
AnTHM Gallery in Black Mountain proudly represents my collection in North Carolina, plus you can see more of my work in my studio space at the Red House, next to the Monte Vista Hotel, in Black Mountain NC.
