Patricia Halsell is an award-winning oil painter, working in a style that hovers between realism and abstraction.

Prior to her art training, Pat practiced law for over twenty years. Although she enjoyed her law career, she’d much rather paint than write a brief.

Her work has been exhibited in six museum shows, including Whatcom Museum, Bellingham, WA, and Maryhill Museum of Art, Goldendale, WA, as well as juried into numerous prestigious regional exhibitions.

She trained at Gage Academy of Art for ten years, culminating in four years as a full-time student in the atelier of internationally-recognized artist, author and teacher Juliette Aristides,

Halsell’s interpretation of her subject matter produces a body of work that is contemporary, beautiful, and timeless. Her paintings are in private collections internationally. She is represented by Smith and Vallee Gallery.
