Patricia Schwartz

Patricia Schwartz is from Benton, LA. As a young girl, she developed a love for drawing and painting by designing clothes for her paper dolls. Growing up, she also drew scenes from her mom's country grocery store and her grandfather's sawmill. Throughout the years, her love for art evolved, and through the encouragement of family and friends, she began painting more iconic places and scenes from her home state of Louisiana. Patricia often paints her favorite "hangouts" using acrylic on canvas. She fondly names her work "Folk Art for Fun Folks."
