Patty Biederman is a Carmel-based Plein Air painter who derives the bulk of her inspiration from the landscapes she has seen on her numerous cross-country road trips in the states and her frequent forays abroad. Since the age of ten, when her Architect/Artist father presented her with her very first set of oils, she knew that painting would be her most important creative outlet. After moving to Carmel full-time seven years ago, she has finally been able to devote the majority of her time to her art.

Born in Englewood, New Jersey, Patty grew up In Ohio and attended Columbus Art School, Stephens College, and received her BFA from Ohio State University. She furthered her education at the New York School of Interior Design. Her career in the art world, first as an interior designer in the New York Metropolitan area and then as a gallery owner in rural Virginia, has been important in shaping her own perspective as an artist.

But it is her love of connecting with other artists, her unwavering desire to continue learning and perfecting her craft and the joy of approaching each new day as ripe with possibility, that truly defines her art.
