About Patti
“I work with a variety of media; such as resin, clay, paint, LED lighting, found objects, hardware (hinges, latches, box feet), paper crafting, decoupage, assemblage, miniatures, beads and jewelry findings. If I’m curious, I’ll try to learn it.
“I hope you enjoy my creations.”

Testimonials
Mr. K Cup
"I told Patti that I had a Keurig machine that didn’t work and she said she wanted it for parts to put in her mixed media pieces. Well, Patti found a Keurig machine in the closet and assumed that was it. It wasn’t. She took apart a new machine that I was saving for the camper. I came home to a pile of pieces, told her it was the wrong one, and after being properly horrified at what she did, she laughed and decided to make me a piece of art from it. So she made a robot who sits on a pedestal that says “I’m Sorry I Ate Your Coffee Maker. He is wonderful, and the bloody human teeth (cast from Invisalign Braces) make him incredibly creepy."

A HEARTWARMING TRIBUTE
“I recently had the privilege of receiving a truly heartfelt gift from Patti: a charcoal drawing of my dearly departed Sasha. To say that I am delighted with the result would be an understatement. Patti's talent for realism and impeccable attention to detail have left me in awe. As I gaze at the artwork, it's as if Sasha's spirit is right there with me, immortalized on paper. The level of resemblance goes far beyond a mere likeness; Patti has somehow managed to encapsulate Sasha's very essence. The memories of our shared moments come rushing back, and though bittersweet, the drawing brings a smile to my face and warmth to my heart.”

A LEGEND OF ZELDA DIORAMA
Patti created this beautiful Legend of Zelda piece for me. It takes inspiration from across the entire Zelda universe and has a ton of hidden cabinets and drawers that are filled with even more odds and ends from Hyrule. Patti spent quite a bit of time doing research into what Zelda was and how she could make the best piece possible. She did such a great job with the research! So many references in the piece that just make me so happy to look at. The Zelda games were my happy place so I get nothing but joy from looking at this incredible piece that Patti had made for me.”

DIE HARD TREE TOPPER
An ode to the greatest Christmas story ever told...Die Hard! Patti went beyond my expectations with my custom tree topper. I have friends ask me all the time where I purchased it. My kids know it's not officially Christmas in our house unless they see Bruce Willis hanging off the Nakatomi building that sits nestled on our tree. My wife and I love it so much we commissioned a second tree topper; Ghostbusters themed. Can't wait!”
