Pat Scheurich
Pat Scheurich was born in Louisiana and moved often in early childhood because her father worked with oil wells and was never in one place for long. Her family eventually settled in Phoenix Arizona where playing in the desert hills was part of my everyday life. Pat remembers fun trips to the mountains and occasionally the seashore and always exploring the desert. During grade school, Pat had a pencil and sketchbook in her hands, which was encouraged by my parents, both of whom enjoyed painting as a hobby. She took art classes while still living at home and later got a degree in Fine Arts at Northern Arizona University. Over the years, she’s attended many workshops and painting classes and studied Interior Design at Phoenix College. Early in her career, Pat worked as a freelance graphic designer, and then transitioned into mural art, faux finishing, and trompe l’oeil while balancing the demands of her growing family. Finally, as her children entered adulthood, Pat made a commitment to studio work and teaching, with her canvases being purchased by both commercial and private clients.
