Isis Art Studio: The Woman Behind it All

Welcome to my new blog! 


My name is Patricia, and I am the creator of Isis Art Studio.  I have recently revamped my website, my blog, my motto; I have given my art a face lift.  So, who am I?  


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.  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 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 Saint Ambrose School in Latham, New York.  The mural is entitled, “Christ Loves the Children.”  In addition to the St. Ambrose mural, she has also created murals for a daycare in the Heery Center in Albany,  a residential home in Scotia,  a Foster Care building in Albany.
 From 2002 to 2008, Patricia undertook the massive oil project: The Way of the Cross series.   Inspiration for this project began after she rendered several “mother” sketches, which led to the production of Fruit of Your Womb.  The creation of this painting led to contemplative thinking and eventually the Way of the Cross series.  Throughout this series, Patricia uses paint the on canvas to the passion of Christ along with her own experiences.
 Patricia Marie Trudeau is the owner and teacher at Isis Art Studio.  She holds art lessons in her in-home studio throughout the week.  She is now expanding her collection through prints of her original work and other fine art products, including canvas wraps.
 When she is not busy painting or teaching, Patricia spends time with her husband, cats, and therapy-trained dog named Yafah.  Patricia and her husband are the proud of parents of three boys – their three most precious Masterpieces.
