Her slide presentation includes several complete stories as well as pictures of her studio, her models, and her art supplies. Pat concludes with sketching and answering any questions the students may have. In the course of a school day, she will present up to four 45-minute presentations. Based in the New York metropolitan area, Pat is available for school programs in the Northeast.
