BIO

Pat Pitcher is a New Mexico artist whose practice spans abstract painting, intaglio monotype, photogravure, and mixed media. Her work is driven by curiosity and the process of discovery, layering photographs, printed imagery, found materials, gestural marks, and paint into compositions that evolve through experimentation rather than predetermined plans. After retiring from a successful career in the travel industry in 2015, Pat committed herself full-time to the study and practice of art. Through years of dedicated exploration, workshops, and studio practice, she has developed an intuitive approach that embraces chance, revision, and the unexpected. Whether working in printmaking or painting, she is less interested in depicting a specific subject than in capturing the experience of moving through the world, where memories, textures, and observations accumulate over time. Her work has been exhibited in juried exhibitions throughout New Mexico and published in the 34th Annual McNeese National Works on Paper Exhibition as well as the 2024 and 2025 Taos Abstract Artists Collective exhibition catalogs. A native New Mexican with a lifelong love of travel, Pat now lives and works in Northern New Mexico.
