Pat King is a local Milwaukee artist, born in New York, raised in New Jersey. Attended Columbia University, visited? San Miguel, Mx; and studied art history in Paris. She has taught art at shorewood highschool, MATC and MIAD. She is a member of the Milwaukee League of Artists. http://www.leagueofmilwaukeeartists.com/ That's all I remember from the introduction and couldn't find more info about her on the web.

The critique evaluated, composition, technique, color, value, perspective and emotional quality.

In Pat's closing comments she encouraged us to carry a sketchbook, take your own photos, to let pieces evolve, to push ourselves, to make a collage from cutup overworked paintings you don't like, don't limit yourself to formula and theory.
