Art by Pat Jones

A retired disability advocate and Director of MPACT, Missouri's Parent Training Center, Pat Jones moved to the Mendocino coast of northern California in 1997. With more time for art, she works in several mediums— acrylic, clay, wood, cement, and most recently, fiber which she likens to painting with a sewing machine. Her work is colorful, a bit humorous and infused with nature. She attended the University of Missouri and is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

(aside—her art sells far better than her attempts at poetry—lol— however poetry—both reading it and attempting to write it, jump starts the art process!)
