Patricia
Wheeler is a painter who also works with mixed media, nontraditional
books and video projection. Her work is content based and usually
contains some form of text. Using an abstract vocabulary she looks
for intersections between unrelated elements within a painting.
She has exhibited in New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Santa Fe,
Oregon, Florida and Maine. She has taught in Maine at the Haystack
Mountain School of Crafts and the Center for Maine Contemporary Art,
in Oregon at the Oregon College of Art & Craft (OCAC) and the
Sitka Center for Art & Ecology, in Wisconsin at the Peninsula
Art School, Door County, etc.
She lives and works in Deer Isle, Maine, with her husband, J. Fred
Woell, metalsmith and sculptor. She has had numerous artist residencies
both in Maine and on the West Coast.
Pat graduated from Rutgers University, with high honors in studio
art. In the spring of 2010 she has been invited again as a resident
in the drawing / painting department at OCAC to learn silk screen
printing with Thomas Sprenkle, a printmaker in Portland, Oregon.
Patricia is currently in an artist residency at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology,
Otis, Oregon from October 10, 2011 to Jaunary 13, 2012.
