About Patsy
About her abstract paintings Fleming says, “Color and line are my vehicles for the expression of memory, imagination and a lifetime of witness. Art in a time of crisis: It seems these days we are in a continual state of crisis. I paint with energy and empathy to escape the reality of our lives right now. We catch a moment, catch a lifetime in paint. It is my hope that the observer finds meaning in my art according to his or her own experience and understanding.
A graduate of Vassar College, Fleming has studied painting at
Cranbrook Academy of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts,
New York University and the Yellow Barn Studio.
Patsy Fleming interrupted her many years of a painting career to work
in the US government. Believing in public service as well as art,
she worked in Congress and in the Clinton Administration, where her
last post was Director of National AIDS Policy in the White House.
Fleming’s work has been exhibited and/or is in private collections
in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Washington, Edinburgh, Scotland
and St. Petersburg, Russia and in many other cities across the country.
