From her Mansfield studio, Patricia Vega creates and explores a tapestry of fine art and craft, including printmaking, cyanotype and mixed media.
“I am continually captivated by the diverse ways in which form, texture and process come together,” says Patricia, whose printmaking techniques include etching, drypoint and lithography. “My artistic journey is deeply rooted in traditional crafts, which is why I find myself drawn to tactile precision.”
More recently, she has turned her attention to cyanotype, which she describes as “a collaboration with the natural world” in which “art and science meet.” The process involves placing objects on paper or cloth treated with a photo-sensitive solution and exposing it to the sun to create negative white images on a brilliant Prussian blue background. In addition to her fine art, Patricia employs the technique to create one-of-a- kind silk scarves, cards and paperweights, available from her online Bohemian in Blue Shop.
Patricia also offers workshops on using the cyanotype technique on paper or fabric. See “Workshops” below for details. She welcomes commissions and artistic collaborations.
