THE ARTIST
Patricia's art examines social, political, racial, religious, and cultural matters that affect populations whose bodies, voices, and stories are muted, overlooked, misrepresented, or absent from conversations that elevate their existence. Making room and holding space for them, she observes, witnesses, creates, and tells stories that challenge a variety of audiences to recognize, experience, and acknowledge the humanity within and outside themselves.

To behave as an artist is to dance awkwardly in the nude before many. If artists are to survive their critics and themselves, they must die and be resurrected multiple times by the very same society and inner monologue that killed their confidence in art making. To proclaim oneself an artist, is to crown oneself, even when the court of public opinion may not accept you as a queen or king. Patricia R. Corbett, storyteller
