Patricia has displayed her photographs in many galleries, including the Palssons Gallery in Manhattan. A review in the Columbia Daily Spectator assessed her work as possessing “an enigmatic, off–centered sensibility that may be disconcerting or disorienting” but concluded that her “success lies in the fact that she has somehow keenly experienced these pictures before making them into images, proceeding from spirit, idea, and feeling to flesh.”

These cards are about more than communication. In the era of E-Cards, my desire to bring back the practice of sending a paper card, and all the care this artful manner of human connection conveys, is stronger than ever.
As Daniel Okrent states in a November ’09 review of Thomas Mallon's book (Yours Ever, People and Their Letters), “Mallon’s writing about a practice that for at least eight centuries was the primary means of communication between people who happened not to be in the same place at the same time. It was more than just communication, though; it was a form of human conduct enhanced, even exalted, by the demands it imposed on those who practiced it.” Okert explains that Mallon writes, “The small hardships of letter writing — having to think a moment longer before completing utterance; remaining in suspense while awaiting reply; having one’s urgent letters cross in the mail — are the things that enrich it, emotionally and rhetorically... Given the present and future of letter writing, it’s a privilege to be cherished.”
Participate in the privilege of letter writing by sending one of these beuatiful greeting cards.
