Patty Talbert earned her BFA in Studio Art at UNO in 2001 and completed her summer training with MacArthur Award winner Debra Willis at the prestigious Smithsonian African American Museum of History and Culture. Her paintings are vibrant, colorful, and joyous, and reflect her energy and passion. A lot of her themes are centered on Black Love. She is heavily inspired by batik, in which she was trained under the watchful eye of the talented late Jamaican artist Dawn Scott, and much of her creations are based on this unique and beautiful art technique. These techniques are the foundation and inspiration of her more than 3 dozen exhibitions. Her honors include Visual Arts nominee for emerging artist in OEAA , NBC, WOWT featured broadcast on Neighborhood Affirmation Project, and featured guest on HeartlandFocus. Patty’s Neighborhood Affirmation Project has been a continuous project of love for herself and her community.
