Next UCAA meeting: March 1, 2016 – Demonstration by Patti Gibbons, fine artist, designer and teacher who works out of her studio in Kingston, NY.  Her body of work is diverse: she explores the poetic nature of the landscape in oils, her body of narrative mixed media work reflects her love of telling intimate stories, and her abstract drawings emerge from the subconscious, synthesizing the past, present, the seen and the unseen.
