Patricia Whittingham is a Toronto-based artist who has a large body of work in painting, drawing and photography. She is graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD U), and has a degree in education.  Themes in her work include; nature, memory and identity.  She sees art as transformative for both the artist and the viewer. Her abstract paintings are an expression of her own interior constructs and vision. She sees the power of art in its ability to generate a shared experience and has a passion for the arts in all forms.  

Patricia has been a resident of the Lakeshore area in South Etobicoke for over ten years and enjoys the diversity of an area that is both urban and close to the lake.  Her landscape paintings are often inspired by the changing view of the lakeshore. As a professional artist she is active in the Toronto art community and is a member of Toronto Artists and the Canadian Artists Association. 

Recent events include publication in Xanadu Gallery's January 2017 Catalogue. In addition her paintings have been featured on Artbomb Toronto. Patricia was a participating artist for the fundraising art Auction Small Art/Big Hearts at Waddingtons Toronto, and had a solo show at Pazan Gallery in Port Credit, Ontario, in 2016.  She received the Jurors Favourite Award at the Dig It Abstract Painting Exhibition, The Artist Table 2015.
