Patricia Palmer is an artist and arts educator based in Cambridge, MA. She works out of her studio at Miller Street Studios in Somerville. Throughout her career, Patricia has continuously balanced her studio practice with her commitment as an arts educator. Her mixed media works focus on the body and mind, and the rhythms and patterns that lead to awareness of their connection. Drawings, paintings, prints, and sculptures explore a personal vocabulary of abstract imagery related to themes of relationship, observation, communication, and systems. In her work as an educator, Patricia is interested in environments and instructional approaches that help people learn how to think, especially in and through the visual arts. Patricia is a former teacher and spent twelve years as a researcher at Project Zero, a research organization at the Harvard Graduate School of Education dedicated to understanding and enhancing learning, thinking, and creativity in the arts. Patricia’s work there focused on deepening understanding of the arts and developing programs for schools, art museums, and communities. Currently, Patricia is the Director of Art Education at Montserrat College of Art.
