Patricia Timbrook

Patricia Timbrook's wide variety of work varies among pen and ink drawings, abstract paintings and mixed media collages. She brings to her lively canvases her experience as an illustrator for children's literature, and an enthusiasm for detailed visual line and passionate, painterly abstraction. She explores geometry and texture, with complementary forms at times suggesting masks carved out of wood or tile. She also uses ultra-thin lines and delicate shading in her black and white works to sculpt impressive studies of light and shadow.

While the composition of her pen-and-inks offer sharply defined borders, the shapes in her paintings have more porous boundaries. Often composed of brisk threads of color woven among a painterly base of solid, interrelated forms, Timbrook's acrylics show an obvious love of bright gold, red, and saffron. Her mixed media collages even incorporate gold leaf as glittering borders. Such explorations in the visual arts have characterized Patricia Timbrook all her professional life; she offers us unique and beautiful studies in light, shadow, and form.
