Patricia Apt

Patricia Apt grew up in New Mexico surrounded by the art and craftwork so unique to our state. She finds her artistic expression in woodturning. She began learning the craft of woodturning in 2011 and over time progressed from craft to creating more artful pieces. She uses a variety of woods to make boxes, bowls, platters and other functional pieces. She also creates artistic forms and specializes in woodturned miniatures inspired by the pottery of the Pueblos here in the southwest. “I strive to bring out the beautiful grain within wood, however nature has already done most of the work. I do my best to reveal it.”
