Background
For many years, Tricia was an Art teacher for the public schools in NJ. Her inspiration for art began as a child and came together when she took classes at the Barn Studio of Art. Her growth as an artist blossomed from working in the non-competitive environment of the Barn, where there was encouragement for all different kinds of expression. Through Pat Witt’s teaching methods, Tricia felt empowered to express her visions and today works as a glass blower at Wheaton Village.
She continues to paint and attends landscape classes at The Barn. This summer she will be returning as an instructor, teaching children hand building and other methods of working with clay.
