About the Artist

Pat Carlson and her husband retired to Chocowinity, NC, in 2003. Like most retirees, she is more active than ever. She grew up in Illinois and lived in Tennessee, Texas, and New Jersey before retiring to Chocowinity.

She is a self-made artist with an interest in all art forms, including watercolor, acrylics, pen and ink, flower pounding, and quilting. Her latest venture is fabric art, which can encompass painting, pen and ink, design, color, and many other venues, e.g., a thread can become a plant. She is a late bloomer. She never thought she would enjoy something so much, while at the same time being able to share her creations with others. She is a member of Pamlico River Quilters Guild, Artragous Quilters, and Arts of the Pamlico.

To create these pictures, she has used pieces of fabric, yarns, thread, paint, and more. She does not plan or sketch her creations. Rather, she gets an idea and “runs” with it. She hopes you will enjoy them.
