Patricia Altschul: Vignettes of Stillness and Strength
Patricia Altschul is a Sacramento-based painter known for quiet, evocative images of women that invite reflection and emotional connection. Born in Hempstead, New York, and raised in Palo Alto, she draws inspiration from artists like Vermeer and Morandi, blending stillness with subtle mystery. In 2000, a life-altering brain injury forced her to relearn colors and brushwork, beginning again with two-inch paintings. Through a decade of persistence, she rebuilt her artistic practice, shaped by both fragility and strength. Today, Altschul’s work remains deeply personal and meditative. She is represented by b. Sakata Garo in Sacramento.
