ABOUT
Patty Flauto iis an abstract painter and art educator based in Rocky River, Ohio, her work and life are distinguished by a deep commitment to creativity, color, and design.
Using the canvas as a window rather than an overt narrative, the strong compositions, colors and shapes in her work invite the viewer to pause and interpret. Impression overshadows realism, creating a dialogue between artist and viewer. Layers of meaning allow for thought, escape and a sense of satisfaction.
Abstraction supports a unique and personal mental meandering as a shift between “real life” and “imagined life”. Imagination provides personal, private moments that can inspire improvisational emotion.
An active contributor to the arts community in Northeast Ohio, Patty also regularly exhibits her work and actively supports regional arts initiatives.
