A Free-Lance Artist and Illustrator whose style is referred to as Expressionist, Patty Lipinski has pursued painting with persistence and passion since the age of 12. Family, Religion and Community values have helped identify the many facets of her focus to pursuing a gift of art. She can be found in parts of the City of Pittsburgh with a small Black Sketch Book capturing moments of creativity in peoples’ lives.

Detail-oriented, a flair for color and design earned her a place in the class in Interior Design at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Also versatile with additional instruction in Chinese Brush Painting at the University of Pittsburgh and Portrait/Illustration Study under the direction of Jean Johnston and Don Sullivan at the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh Museum Classes.

Experimental in media. Primary application is Watercolor, Pastel Oil, Pen and Ink. Sometimes combining mediums such as coffee for a monotone painting to window logo design with appropriate glass paint to enable a broader creativity base to satisfy client requests. As an Expressionist it is important element to this style to relay the feelings of the event and time in the illustration. It is of the utmost importance to become one in association with the elements to be conveyed in each and every painting or client’s wish!

Continuing in the pursuit of community development, Patty also shares her talents as a children's face painter during the annual Christmas Holiday Party at the Renaissance Hotel. What warmth and joy to share one's gift of art with children during a wonderful time of year!
