About Pat

The above is my drawing of my imagined best seller.

The photo below was staged in a parking lot near me amidst the global economic meltdown that rattled my retiree bones to the core in 2008.

In 2025, those seem like the good ol’ days.

The Photo Gardener® is my portfolio of garden photography and related fabric designs.

Some of my essays and playwriting have been published or awarded, as have some of my images, but, in reality, a daily creative process is my only goal these days.

Sometimes I post on Instagram while watching reels on how to get out of bed without injuring myself.

Or post on Substack when words and images come together.

My daily challenge at 80+?

If you want to peruse an archive of anxiety, click 2008 to early 2025, which has a “search” feature on the side. I do my own website wizardry.
