About Me
Patrizia studied Fine Art at the University of Frankfurt, Germany. After extensive travels all over the world she returned to start an apprenticeship as a scenic artist.
She has worked for over 15 years as a backdrop artist at the Berlin Opera and the Opera House in Bern, Switzerland as well as a freelancer for movie and TV sets.
She found her new home in Kauai 2007.
Patrizia’s work is inspired by the Hawaiian culture and the natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. She likes to explore the relationship between ourselves and our environment, our inner landscape and our outer ones.
Patrizia’s work is represented by Wyland Gallery in Kilauea, Hawaii.
“I love everything ocean, the colors, the healing and cleansing properties, its creatures, especially the whales and dolphins, I must have been in my other life a mermaid from Sirius, I drink Matcha Latte and my favorite word is chrysalis. My favorite movie is Whale Rider. Once I had a black cat. now I have 6. In a parallel life I am a pianist or dancer. I love summer, the berries, the warm wind and the sun. If I had to choose a sound, I’d say, the wind shaking the tree leaves, birds singing and the ocean waves in the background (what I hear daily at my little beach cottage). Or rain. I have always been an artist but I had to move through conditioning like I am not good enough and the starving artist cliche. I started painting in my apprenticeship when I was 31 years old. I am afraid of heights. I have two big scares on both legs at the exact same spot.”
