Patricia Gould

Although her first passion as an artist was photography, Patricia spent over 20 years creating her visions in mixed media fiber art before deciding to concentrate her creative energy on painting and photography in 2013. She has exhibited around the US, China, Taiwan, Mexico, Ukraine, Hungary, and Italy. In 2005, Patricia was chosen to be an Artist-in-Residence for a month at Lake Balaton, Hungary. Among the awards for her fiber art, she won a Niche Award in 2008 and again in 2013. The State of New Mexico has purchased 11 of her artworks that have been installed at various sites around New Mexico. The Los Alamos Arts Council purchased 1 artwork for the Los Alamos County Airport. She had a solo exhibition at the Open Space Visitor Center gallery in Albuquerque from January – March 2024 and she was invited to exhibit at the New Mexico Cancer Center in 2020. Three of her artworks have been on exhibit at US Embassies in Kuala Lumpur, Myanmar, and Estonia.

“My inspiration comes from travel to Asia, East Africa, Russia, Antarctica, and extensive travel throughout North America and Europe. I’m drawn to a few subjects in nature that I find perpetually intriguing, and my voice is whispering a tribute to the incredible beauty in both the subtle and violent forces of nature, only touched by the hand of humans on rare occasions. I’m obsessively drawn to trees, rocks, all forms of water, and animals; I portray these subjects as if they were asking to me to reveal their messages to the world. My artworks are dramatic portraits of Earth and I hope to draw the viewers into these scenes to share the exhilaration I feel and to cherish the wonders of the place we call home.”
