About Me
- Patricia Louise Corbett
- In 1997 after a bout with cancer she decided to go back to her childhood love. She began by studying with Julie Gale in New Jersey. But it was in 2005, when Patricia decided to study with her brother, Ray Carpenter, that a whole new world opened. Mr. Carpenter is renowned for his landscape paintings which are presently being exhibited in several prestigious galleries on the west coast, one being the Carmel Masterworks Gallery. Creating art with her siblings is not new to Patricia. As a young girl, she spent hours in her backyard drawing with another sibling, Michael Carpenter, a successful landscape artist in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Both of her brothers’ scapes depict the rugged western terrain, however, Patricia has found her calling with the eastern scenes with their many lakes and lush multi-colored landscapes.

I went down to Ely House to pick up my two paintings today. I will say I was quite impressed with much of the work I saw.
But, my friend, I was not impressed with anything more than I was with your large painting of the Merritt Parkway. They have given it an entire wall to itself, and rightly so. Patricia, this is the first time I have seen that painting properly hung and in beautiful light, and you hve created a work of Art, and I mean Art with a capital "A." It is truly, wonderfully astonishing in its style and masterful completion. You have drawn on everything from Gustav Klimt right on through the curvilinear style of art nouveau to create a unique masterpiece.
The colors are unusual and marvelously harmonized, and I know more about color than most.
You must devote significant time to working at this larger scale in order to do justice to and to give scope to your maturing vision. My hat is off to you, and I will be visiting that show often just to see that painting. Thank you for making it. Dennis Bell, Artist
