PATSEE PARKER is a native Oregonian who has been painting most of her life, professionally for more than thirty five years. Living "smack on the Oregon Coast" has inspired many of her seascapes. She's at home in the entire Pacific Northwest and her paintings reflect the many differing views of this scenic area. In recent years her trips to Alaska have also inspired many paintings. Her love of flowers, her own garden, and her field trips through wildflowers inspire her florals. Living on the Oregon Coast has given her seascapes a feeling of reality. Someone once commented about one of them, "I could almost get wet from that spray!".
