About the Artist
‘I have long been fascinated by Folk and Early Art, in all its forms and geographical/historical locations. This is contrasted by my interest in domestic crockery and still life, where the title often alludes to narratives beyond the frame.’
Patricia Mullin was born and raised in East Anglia, where meads, streams, woods, and thickets became playgrounds and gangs of children roamed free; drawing and reading were her rainy-day pursuits. Patricia attended Colchester School of Art for a two-year foundation course. She was taught drawing by Phillip Ardizzone, (son of Edward), Richard Bawden, printmaker (son of Edward), and the historian Richard Godfrey. This indeed was a foundation from which Patricia continues to benefit. At Central Saint Martins she gained a BA in applied textiles, from where she went on to design for Liberty & Co for the Tana Lawn/Veruna Wool ranges, later freelancing, selling to international textile houses in the UK, New York, and Japan. She completed an art specialist PGCE at Goldsmiths College University of London, and an MA in Writing the Visual from NUA, devised by George Szirtes, exploring the relationship between creative and critical writing and visual culture.
Patricia is a published author; her short stories have won places in national competition anthologies and literary magazines/ezines. She is a member of The Society of Authors. Patricia has taught in settings including Norwich Cathedral where she ran the first creative writing course in an English Cathedral and an open art class. She has also taught at HMP Prison Norwich, Murray Edwards College Cambridge, and The Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts.
