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.

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.

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
