Jurors select Pat Cross Art into Face the Music Exhibit

At the Tamarack Marketplace from August 10 - September 19, 2024.

The jurors selected three artworks by Pat Cross into this show, each from her drawing and painting series on the human form.

“When I think of music, the artform of dance often comes to mind,” says Pat Cross, recalling her training in various forms ranging from giddily heel-kicking Appalachian square dancing to the more formal European ballroom dance tradition.

In one artwork selected into this show, Music in Motion, Pat Cross uses lines in her drawing to convey a sense of graceful movement.
Each work of art give credence to the wonderful world of sound as a platform for play, design, movement and interactions that add meaning to our lives. Read on ...

When my wife expressed such pleasure as she studied the oil painting by Pat Cross of a child perched on a river boulder, I knew I wanted to get it for her as a gift.

Robert of Charleston, WV

Pat went beyond just creating a beautiful piece. She went way out of her way to capture a striking image.

Carol Atherton of Portland, Oregon

As a native of Eleanor, West Virginia, I was so inspired by Pat’s emersion into our community, that I became motivated to make the frames for her paintings.

Jeff Lewis

As a master gardener, I can appreciate Pat's florals for the depth and personality she brings to each bloom.

Sandy of Putnam County, WV

Your painting looks fantastic where ever I hold it up. Narrowing down the possibilities is the hard part. Thank you for your wonderful artwork and vision.

Julia of Columbus, OH

My wife and I commissioned Pat Cross to paint our favorite view of the 18th Hole where we golf. We display it in our dining room where we can see it each day.

Ray and Sharon of San Antonio, TX

We are displaying the portraits as a centerpiece in our home. Pat, thank you for all your hard work!

Brian and Adele

We are thrilled to have a painting of the Owyhee River Canyon by Pat Cross in our home and we know that canyon well as a seasonal floaters and firefighters.

Joey and Shannon of Sunriver, OR

The view is quite distinctive, even iconic. When Pat completed the piece, the oil painting conveyed that place much the way a
portrait portrays a person, personality and all.

Figurative Paintings

In this series of oil paintings, I explore the artistry and visual language spoken by the human form. "People often talk about body language," says Pat Cross, "but I prefer to listen with a pencil or brush in hand. Then, I tend to listen more closely and pick up on cues I'd miss otherwise."

Landscape Paintings

Here, Pat Cross brings the viewer along on an outdoor adventure. "When I hike a trail or paddle a lake, I scout for striking scenery to paint," says the artist, adding, "And I bite at the bit to share that experience with others." Pat Cross has explored some of our nation's most awe-inspiring geographies such as the Colorado Rockies, Oregon Cascades, and Appalachian Range.

Floral Paintings

In this series of oil paintings, Pat Cross explores, up close and personal, both garden and wild blooms. "I paint each bloom as I would a portrait, up close and personal. Collecting a series of floral paintings brings the refreshment of a garden indoors to enjoy every season of the year.

Waterways Paintings

This series of oil paintings on natural waterways reveal the powerfully soothing and reflective nature brooks, rivers and tides. "I find the musical sounds of moving water as refreshing as I do the mercurial beauty of it," says Pat Cross. The view is forever changing as the water travels, leaving ripples, waves, foam or splashes in its wake.
