BIO
Patricia Brett is a multi-media artist and former architect working in paper, stone, ink, and prints. Her interdisciplinary approach blurs the boundaries between sculpture and printmaking.
She received a BS in Architecture from The Ohio State University, a Master of Architecture from Yale University, and studied printmaking and stone carving at the Art Students League of New York. Her long career in architecture has informed her artistic practice with its focus on form, materials, and processes. Prior to a career in the visual arts, she created Veronica Brett, the first line of designer swimwear for breast cancer survivors. She is a past recipient of the Sonia Albert Schimberg Prize, the Schweinfurth Scholarhip, and the Charles Blaze Vukovich Scholarship.
In October 2022, she curated Sculptural Imprints for KINK Contemporary gallery, Cleveland, which featured the work of seven female printmakers. She has taught arts workshops at the Art Students League of New York, Zygote Press, and the Morgan Paper Conservatory, Cleveland.
Patricia’s work is in the permanent collections of the New York Public Library, the Art Students League of New York, the Morgan Paper Conservatory, and MetroHealth Hospitals, Cleveland. After spending over 30 years in New York City, she now resides in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
