Dedication To Service
Patsy
Pitts
Patsy Pitts is a 3rd generation Los Angelean and Army Veteran who worked for 37 years as a nurse, mostly serving the mentally ill. While working in medicine she would use art to help sooth and entertain patients, drawing pencil portraits of them that they would hang on their walls. At age 58 she was accepted into Otis College of Art and Design from which she graduated at 62 with a degree in fine arts with an emphasis on painting and sculpture.
Her discourse is equity, women’s rights and religious clarity. She values family and the flexibility life offers to master many subjects and uses creativity to expose different perspectives and bring people together. Like many great artists she considers her work a form of activism. She also considers writing a form of great catharsis, and has been published many times during her freelance career.
“Service is important for both the giver and the receiver. There is something more valuable than money that circles around us when we give.”
“My family inspires my art without them even knowing.”
If we could strive to take responsibility for our families and love them warts and all we would be greater as a community, as a country and a nation. I love my family just as I love the boy next door. Family not only inspires us it teaches us how to love as we don't pick them but we somehow learn our greatest lessons about business, commitment and honor from our own family. We are more blessed when we have them than those among us that do not.
