Where Art and Farming Collide
Erin Pata has been an artist, a cowgirl, and mother to three remarkable human beings, for the past twenty-five years on a fourth-generation butterbean farm and cattle ranch, along the pristine, but blustery, Pacific coastline. Her journey started in small-town Ohio, and wound its way through the East Coast’s biggest cities, then into farming and ranching in the Jalama Valley of California. Since that wasn't rural enough, she most recently settled into the mountains of Montana to a small cabin, smack dab in the middle of the purest wilderness she could find ...the Yukon-to-Yellowstone wildlife corridor. As a life-time freelance graphic designer, she specializes in small, do-it-yourself operations who need custom, unique-personality designs and drawings for their ideas. Erin continues to live out her dreams fueled by freedom, beauty, and curiosity, which has now evolved into counting megafauna for Glacier National Park, and backpacking to the summits of some of America’s greatest mountains.
