Hi, I’m Patti Mollica – Artist, Author, Teacher.

“I paint the world with bold colors, fearless brushstrokes, and a passion for creativity.”

A Colorful Career in Art

Patti Mollica delights in painting the world around her in a bold, confident style, with hues that are vibrant, energetic and contemporary. Her work is known for its fearless use of color and expressive brushwork, while still blending a delicate balance between impressionism, abstraction and realism.

Patti had a long career as an advertising art director, graphic designer and commercial illustrator, and during that time also balanced a robust career in fine art painting with gallery representation.

Sharing My Passion Through Teaching

In 2009 Patti became a Certified Golden Artist Educational Instructor, and taught workshops all across the US and abroad. The workshops and lectures taught creative techniques for incorporating the vast array of acrylic pastes, gels, medium, etc. into their painting process. She continues to teach her popular “How to Paint Fast, Loose and Bold” and “Color Choices” Workshops online and in-person.

Life Beyond the Teaching

Patti is an enthusiastic urban sketcher, constantly discovering unique locations to set up and paint, whether in the bustling heart of NYC or in any city / country she explores. From standing on a busy Fifth Avenue sidewalk to sitting on the floor of Grand Central Station or biking her way to a bumpy sidewalk, in Patti’s world there is always a scene waiting to be captured.
