April 2022, Patricia Bouley artist talk at Prince Street Gallery

“The themes in my work have changed over time, but what has been consistent is my exploration of human emotions and the relationships that bind us.  Painting and drawing are filters…a universal lens…through which I absorb impressions to create an expression.  What I am seeking is a confrontation with the things that stir me…feelings, connections, and unresolved conflict.  I am a visual storyteller.  Much of it is subconscious…resembling a jigsaw puzzle.  The imagery resurfaces as the pieces are joined.”
