About California Artist Pat Lodge
BIO CONTACT LINKS
It all started when I was very young, a fascination with water, clear legos, lite-brite, wire, colors, beads, time. Moving to a small Southern California beach town at 7 began a life-long love of the ocean & beach, sunlight, plants & just the way coastal people live.
The people I grew up around, the gardeners, artists & craftspeople, surfers, sailors, fishermen & weathered folks on the beach with light in their eyes & smiles on their faces continue to inspire & influence me, ‘cause you can just tell that they have the best stories to tell.
As I’ve gone about creating my life I’ve kept these people in mind, & discovered so many more people living inspiring lives. Hiking to the ceramic studios at U.C. Santa Cruz working towards a degree in studio art, trying my hand at scene painting, then interning as a props artisan picking up some wood-working skills, traveling through Tucson, Berkeley, Cedar City, UT, Denver, La Jolla, then back to California’s central coast building props for regional theatre companies, learning about plants while working in local nurseries & always spending time on the beach, gardening, painting, photographing the coast & making objects.
