Patricia Saxton Sold at Auction Prices

Somewhere around the age of three, Patricia Saxton picked up a pencil and never quite put it down. Today her oil paintings, and pencil and pen & ink drawings hang in corporate and private collections across the country. Exhibited widely throughout the New York/Philadelphia metropolitan areas, her work has consistently received top honors and best-in-show awards.

For much of her life, Saxton has studied and traveled extensively in the US and abroad. Her earth-toned palette often echoes the essence of those journeys, transporting viewers to a place of surreal, tranquil beauty. Primarily self-taught, Saxton's early influences were the woods, pastures and gardens of her childhood, infusing a deep sensitivity to natural beauty and providing constant inspiration for the avid young artist. Also close to home were the creative influences of her parents ? her mother, an accomplished, published poet, and her father, a brilliant chemical engineer and recipient of the Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award.

Saxton's talents also form the core of Saxton Illustration and Design, a graphic design firm established in 1985 serving numerous Fortune 500 companies, as well as small businesses and individuals. She is also the author/illustrator of two published children's books, The Book of Mermaids, and A Book of Fairies.

Saxton holds a BA in English & History from Wittenberg University, and completed post-graduate studies at The School of Visual Arts in NYC.
