Featured Artist for August
"Pat Forbes didn’t take the usual road to becoming an artist—she walked her own, often barefoot, path through the backfields of life. Like Thoreau, she’s always marched to the beat of her own drum, drawn to the quiet rhythms of nature and the deeper truths hiding in plain sight. And like Van Gogh, she sees with more than her eyes—she paints from the inside out, letting emotion, memory, and spirit guide the brush."
Featured Artist for August
"Art has always been my passion. After earning a Master’s degree, I taught Art in High School for 41 years, I retired in 2000 to pursue painting full time. I work primarily in Transparent Watercolor. I have a love for New Mexico and spend time there painting each June. One of my retirement goals was to have work selected into National Watercolor Shows. I am a member of seven state Watercolor Societies and a signature member of three.
I also have had several one woman shows, show in local art events and am president of the Raytown Artist Association."
