Who is Pat Bishop?
Pat Bishop is an artist who works with fabric, thread and a sewing machine and often watercolor and acrylic paints. Her artwork is an expression of her view and appreciation of nature. She is predominantly self-taught with the help of lots of workshops and classes from watercolors to rosemaling and other painting and textile classes.
As a midwestern descendant of farmers she is an inherent problem solver, with the need to use it up, fix it, make it work or repurpose it. Currently she is pursuing simplification in her work. Subjects she gravitates toward are trees, birds and broken down buildings, but with an abstracted view.
Her artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally and won numerous awards in fine art venues and prestigious fiber art exhibits.
