Artist Biography

Yukon, Oklahoma artist Pat Snyder finds a simple moment in time and creates the emotion of that every day glimpse of life. Drawing in pencil and ink as a youth, Snyder studied with Faye Taylor, a fashion artist and later with painters Joan Marron LaRue, Jean Richardson and the late Marilyn Bendell. Her works have been displayed in Taos and Santa Fe as well as the former Norman Wilkes Gallery. Former Arts Council Executive Director Betty Price said "Pat Snyder's portraits and landscapes capture the personality and vitality of her subjects with warmth and texture. Her works give us a sense of joy and allow us to see that moment in time."
