Born and raised in Bucks County, PA, Pat grew up appreciating the pastoral environment surrounding her. Nature and things "old" are close to her heart. Unusual lighting effects are of particular interest in her painting.

Much of her work reflects the local genre, her many years of travel, as well as the cultural life, rugged shapes and strong lighting of the coast of Maine.

After graduating from college Pat moved to central Montgomery County. Eventually she restored a farmhouse built in 1717-1718 and built a studio where she works daily.

Pat Wilson-Schmid says of herself, "The act of painting is who I am. In addition to painting unusual lighting effects, I enjoy showing my artist's handwriting in my work. While the viewers experience the painting, I want them to see me through the brushstrokes."

Pat is a signature member of the Philadelphia Watercolor Society, The Philadelphia Sketch Club, Artist Equity, Wayne Art Center, the Cheltenham Art Center, the Perkiomen Valley Art Center, the Greater Norristown Art League, and Historic Yellow Springs.
