| Annette Pate, a native of
Summerville, SC, longed to paint full-time. She was a Sunday painter all
her life until 1986 when she fulfilled her life long dream. She left her
career with Eastern Airlines to become a professional artist. Since that
time she has studied with Elise Dresch of Atlanta.
"The Impressionists are my inspiration." Annette's paintings express her
fascination with sunlight and shadows through oils. Her subjects often
include flowers, gardens, and landscapes. The Southern landscape is her
main inspiration, but the coastline of Cape Ann, Massachusetts influences
her as well. In the summers Annette participates in artist colonies in
Cape Ann. Annette now resides in GA with her family of poets and artists.
