"My Father"  30" x 24"  2001  By Patty D.



"My Father"  30" x 24"  2001

By Patty D.

Most visitors to Northeast Center for Special Care encounter the legend "Artist, Mrs. Patty D.", as she pens all her prolific outpouring of creative energy.  She is ubiquitous as is her work at Northeast Center: it can be found in most administrative offices, conference rooms, and secretarial booths. The common refrain if you comment on someone's D. is, "You should see the one in my living room." Patty is inimitable, lovable, creative, bombastic, generous, tough-minded - an extraordinary personality and artist!

A sense of self and the ability to choose, two of Patty's traits, are considered fundamental to the rehabilitation of brain-injured persons. In many ways, she is the embodiment of what we strive to accomplish: a confident, self-motivated individual who makes choices.

Her artistic signature, that is style, is so singular that we have coined a word to describe it: 'Pattify'. If someone wants specific artwork created, i.e., for a wall, cart, etc., the first response is, "Do you want it 'Pattified'?" - meaning good artistic choices including all her signature images, i.e., hearts, shining sun, loose brush strokes and, of course the words, "Artist, Mrs. Patty D."
