Art has been part of Patti André's life from when she was a young girl. Patti has lived in many different parts of the United States and has traveled to many countries around the world. An enthusiastic nature lover and traveler, she is always observing, learning and growing.
As a teacher, Patti is exceptional. She teaches oil and pastel at the Loveland Academy of Art as well as teaching privately.
Patti has been a professional artist for over 25 years. Her work has sold extensively throughout the United States and abroad, and she has participated in many single and group exhibitions. She works out of her studio in Loveland, Colorado.
