Turqish Delight by Patricia Cornute

About the artist

Patricia Cornute

In her art practice, Patricia Cornute has worked in many mediums, including pastels, glass, acrylic paints and most recently alcohol inks. She fell in love with the process of making art in college, where she took her first art class, in pastels. Though she felt out of place among the art majors when she walked in on that first day, she realized she had found her calling, and embraced the art maker within. One of her fondest memories from that class was illustrating blowups of mini Clinique Bonus Time Gifts, combining pastels and the makeup within the packages in a series of drawings. From that point on her aesthetic interests have focused on both color and the physical properties of the materials she uses.

After graduating from Endicott College, Cornute relocated to Saratoga Springs, when she visited a friend for the weekend, and never went home. Saratoga offers a much appreciated proximity to Boston and New York, and the beauty of the town captured her heart. Exploring the downtown led her to Symmetry Gallery, where she took Dianne Zack’s lampwork bead class and continued to rent torch time as she worked on her own beads.
