Patty Flauto is a painter and printmaker living in Rocky River, Ohio. Creativity runs through her work and her life with an unending passion for 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.
