Artist of the Month - May 2025

Patricia Chang

Patricia is the featured artist at Bonsor Open Art this May, presenting a selection of her self-taught watercolor works from the past year  Her pieces will be displayed on the art panels in the 55+ lower level, showcasing her dedication to exploring the fluidity and expressiveness of watercolor. Additionally, on the second-floor display case, she is exhibiting a Chinese Gongbi flower-and-bird painting—a delicate piece from her earlier studies in traditional brushwork.  
 
Through those paintings on display, Patricia hopes to share her artistic journey, insights, and passion for learning. She warmly invites viewers to engage in dialogue, exchange ideas, and foster mutual growth among fellow art enthusiasts. Join her in celebrating the joy of artistic discovery and the beauty of continuous improvement.
