Patti Maher Exhibit In May At Southbury Public Library

Press release from the Southbury Public Library:

5/1/2025

The Southbury Public Library will be virtually showcasing the artwork of artist Patti Maher for the month of May 2025.

Artist Patti Maher works primarily in watercolor, though she also enjoys pen & ink and graphite. In most recent years her artwork has developed into what she describes as her version of minimalism. There is a simple elegance that she creates by using a limited palette and sparing, yet free flowing lines, which evoke a strong feeling of peace. Maher’s subject matter tends to be the emotions and feelings one gets from a scene or object, rather than the object itself.

Maher is a writer, which also influences her artwork. She thinks of both her writing and artwork as a conversation. She loves to hear or see the reaction to her work, and when it touches someone deeply she feels that she is being “heard” and she feels connected to the world in a deep and meaningful way. She views her minimalist artwork as a type of visual poetry.

An artist for over thirty years, Maher offers a line of note cards. You can find more of her artwork at www.PattiMaher.com.
