Patz on her time in Chicago:
During my two weeks at TICA's drawing and oil painting sessions (June 6-17), I had 81 hours of studio practice and 12 hours of lectures and presentations, and I never wanted it to end! Another awesome things about the TICA program is having the Art Institute of Chicago connected to the school; it's like one colossal cultural classroom. I also had the opportunity to study at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. My husband, Mike, joined me on the weekend and we explored everything that the city had to offer. Chicago was overflowing with art. It was everywhere your eyes landed and it was just what my eyes needed as an art educator and artist!
Above: Patz began work on a portrait of Ilona Smithkin during her time away.
The summer of 2009 featured two studio concentrations: Painting, with Assistant Professor Jessie Fisher and Sculpture, with Jim Whitworth.
Patz chose to do sculpture workshop with Jim Whitworth.
Black Creek Arts Council would like to congratulate Patz on her accomplishments this summer.
