Grandpa's presence Painting

Artist Patricia Kluwe Derderian paints with a combination of expressiveness and confident brushstrokes. Her paintings are marked by the efficient linework and vibrant energy of fashion drawing, and a bright color palette that is all her own. Through her paintings, she captures both public and intimate spaces and the ways we gather and share these places. Patricia developed a love for drawing while still a young child in Brazil before majoring in architecture. Now a painter based in Florida, USA, her paintings can be found in collections around the world. 2019 Awards: • Grand Trophee de Monaco – edition EDMC • Pinellas County Emerging Artist Grant - Largo, FL • Popular Vote winner – Art Ties Us – St Petersburg, FL • 3rd Place – Art Ties Us – St Petersburg, FL • 2nd place – Emerging artists - Carrollwood Cultural Center – Tampa, FL
