Patty Castellini is known for her colorful abstract monotype prints, paintings, and collages. Based in Enfield, NH, Patty first discovered her love for printmaking when she began volunteering at AVA Art Center in Lebanon, NH - a position which evolved into a twenty-five year teaching career. Taking great delight in the creative process, both her own and that of her students, Patty believes creating art is something that can engage everyone. “It is this dual process of teaching and painting that adds to much meaning to my life,” she notes.
