​Artist Biography-Patricia Keith

Patricia Keith is now a Pacific Northwest resident, living in Olympia. Originally from Spokane, she spent thirty years elsewhere.  She is a former U.S. Naval Officer and also worked in Washington D.C. until she retired.  She had never painted until she moved to Olympia, when during the rainiest Winter on record, she took a “Watercolor 101 Painting class at a local high school.  “I just wanted to get out of the house”, she recalls.  The rest is history.  She is a member of the Olympia Art League, and continues to paint for pleasure.
