    I was one of Pat’s watercolour students through the London PUC evening program. I just looked at one of my earliest still life paintings and it was dated 1976! Pat was patient, inspiring, creative and a really gentle teacher who could make a point without making you feel judged. I learned a lot from her and still paint occasionally. One of her daughters was the live (clothed!) model for our class once. Pat brought interesting still life arrangements to the classes- you could tell that she loved to have beauty around her and shared it with others. The world is less kind without her.
