Patricia Mae Young has followed her path to places far and near, providing experiences that molded her talents and strengthened her spirit. Living in Singapore, she absorbed the subtleties and sparenesses of Chinese Brush Painting and reveled in the tropical splendor of Southeast Asia. Working with people living in the distant remoteness of the Australian back-of-beyond, she found and recorded ancient Aboriginal sandstone art.

She has experienced the breathless heights of the Tibetan plateau, the brilliant pale light of Provence, the silent tranquility of a Spanish mountain village. And the depths of the Grand Canyon, the jaggedness of the Sawtooth Mountains, the vastness and quietude of southwest Texas, and the comfortable familiarity of the North Carolina woods.

"Traveling expands my perspectives, allowing me to see the wondrous variety of Nature. As I travel I translate nature's art into my own. My subjects vary, reflecting the individuality of nature - but my art has a constant stylistic theme combining Western and Eastern influences."
