Carrie Patterson
was born in Tokyo, Japan. She earned a B.F.A in studio art from James
Madison University and an M.F.A in painting from The University of Pennsylvania.
In addition she was a student resident at The New York Studio School.
Her work has been exhibited across the country in venues such as The

Ms. Patterson has received research grants from St. Mary’s College
of Maryland, The College of William and Mary, and The Leeway Foundation
for the Arts. She also received a Virginia Governor’s Fellowship
to The Virginia Center for Creative Arts in 2003. Her paintings consider
how color, form, and line metaphorically measure the human condition
as experienced through the body.
Art Historian Vittorio Colaizzi observes about her work based on a historic
chapel in Maryland, “For Patterson, architectural interiors are
sites of intensified awareness, where one can feel one’s being
most acutely in relation to the planes and volumes one traverses.”
She is an Associate Professor of Art at St. Mary’s College of
Maryland where she teaches drawing and painting.
