JACC is VERY excited to open a new show this coming Saturday, October 17th titled "Oh The Place's We Will GO"! JACC boasts 2 gallery spaces with main show upstairs and our featured artist in the downstairs gallery "Fireside Room" is Member Artist: Priscilla Patterson with her aviation pieces.
Priscilla Patterson, ASAA, CCA, MTWS
Living in Alaska for nearly 25 years, and married to a US Fish & Wildlife pilot, my art mostly
revolved around two major subjects: Aviation and bears.
During our time there, my husband flew extensively with biologists studying the habits and
habitat of the Kodiak brown bears. With that came a whole new career as an aviation artist. I
was accepted into the American Society of Aviation Artists in 1994, served as their education
chair for 20 years, and over time achieved status as an Artist Fellow member.
When we traveled, in and out of Alaska, I photographed aircraft, and it is from those photos
that these paintings were created. Each painting has a history and a connection for me to the
aircraft and the journey during which it was photographed.
Since moving to Idaho, I’ve rediscovered my love of horses, and you will find me riding at Post
Falls Equestrian Center, sponsoring the Kootenai County Saddle Club at the Fairgrounds, or at
the North Idaho Fair photographing draft horses and rodeo riders.
It’s a full life.
