Patricia Mae Young has worked with various media, including Sculpture, Fiber, and several of the paint media. She now paints with Pastels, Watercolors and Oils. She has grown to enjoy Pastels the most, especially soft pastels with their vividly brilliant color, their bold feeling, and their soft strokes. Sometimes she combines the pastels with india ink, acrylics or watercolor for their exciting effects.

"Pastel is the best medium for me to express my artistic feelings. I take my Pastels outdoors to capture the beauty of Nature. I sit in one spot absorbing the view, placing it on paper. I see the depths of colors, feel the interplay of textures - I am where I like to be best, outdoors."
