Patti is a born-and-bred Jersey Girl who has called Colorado home for the past decade. This makes her a Jersoradan…a Coloerseyian…a New Color…nah. What it makes her is someone who appreciates both Bon Jovi and the Flobots, the ocean and the mountains, a really good bagel and a really good microbrew.
She’s a theatrical professional with a lifetime of experience as an actor, director, playwright, theater administrator, acting coach, and teaching artist. A master of ensemble theater, she has a deep-rooted love for storytelling and folklore that dates back to her work with her mentor, Joe Hart, who was a student of the late, great Joseph Campbell. When working with fellow artists, her goal is always to see how she can get someone to surprise themselves and she lives for the moment when things “click.”
Additionally, she fills a fair amount of her time making mud functional in the pottery studio. A ceramicist whose aesthetic is rustic and organic, she loves few things more than her collaboration with the kiln goddess.
Equally at home behind the camera lens, Patti loves shooting out in nature, taking photos of theatrical productions, and photographing ceramic artwork.
Patti is an incurable punster, an awesome vegan cook, and she hates blueberries with the red-hot fiery passion of a thousand suns. She is married to a truly amazing man named Damian and they have three cats collectively known as “Twelve Legs of Indifference”: Owen, Mayzie, and Molly.
