Patti Paris Owens

I am Patti Paris-Owens, a Franklin, IN, native. My art is inspired by nature’s beauty. I hold a great love for the outdoors, flower gardening and landscaping. These influences are seen in my unique, individualistic art style as portrayed through my abstract and impressionistic pieces.

 

I am a graduate from Indiana State University with a degree in Clothing, Textiles, and Marketing. I am a sister in Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, Beta Pi Chapter, and was an active Union Board member. I worked in retail sales and management for many years with the English Design Company, Laura Ashley and the well-known nature company Wild Birds Unlimited. I have worked and lived in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. In 1995, my entrepreneurial spirit shifted my career to real estate investing, homebuilding and remodeling. I currently live in Bargersville, Indiana, and have been successfully self-employed for over 25 years, providing clients, designers and builders with upscale, artistic wall finishes, and custom art works for numerous show homes, commercial establishments and beautiful residences. These professional experiences, my free spirit, and my creative edge soon drove me into contemporary fine art forms, firmly planted on the painted canvas. My artwork is designated Indiana Artisan.

 

My first art entry was selected as the Artist Series Wine Label for Mallow Run Winery, located in Bargersville, IN. My art can be seen on the label for this limited artisan vintage. My next entry was, a 2nd Place showing at the Midwest National Abstract Art Exhibition, held at Garfield Park Arts Center, Indianapolis, IN. My latest honor was placing 1st at Art for all Ages competition, a regional event sponsored by the Greenwood Arts Council, Greenwood, IN.
