\"\"<\/a>When we last heard from Patrice Corneli (see our\u00a0Artist Profile in March 2011<\/a>), she was enjoying rediscovering art after an 18-year hiatus while focusing on raising two little girls and on her \u201csecond love,\u201d evolutionary biology. The latter stemmed from growing up on 5 acres in Illinois on the Wisconsin state line with seven siblings, a cow\u00a0and\u00a0lots of goats; the former from an artistic and literary mother. In college, she double majored in art and biology: \u201cI could never give up either interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, she tells us: I have had a wonderful career in evolutionary biology and have continued to evolve with my art. I have gone from fooling around with the nature of paper and pigments by folding and tearing heavy-weight Arches and German etch on which I added variously watercolor, pastel, powdered graphite, acrylic and Cont\u00e9 crayon to concentrating on field sketches while visiting backcountry Utah, Idaho and the Oregon coast. These I transformed to studio watercolors and oils. These have not been realistic but reference landscape and atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2018, she is returning to the conceptual and abstract work she explored 15 years ago; to her love for manipulating paper and pigment and objects. \u201cI am working for myself and doubt that these will appeal to others,\u201d she says. \u201cBut this is now what I want to return to.\u201d<\/p>\n
