She started receiving awards for her drawings while young and then moved on to 3D work during her teen years, culminating with a national award for one of her ceramic pieces. She has worked with various mediums, from textiles to resin, metals to plants, creating art in many forms, whether functional or traditional. Her work show her ability and skill in a number of different styles and techniques, and her ease with a variety of subjects. She has won recognition for both her 2D and 3D pieces in juried shows. She is a member of a number of artistʻs organizations and has her art available at select galleries in Hawaiʻi. Pati currently works out of her home on the Windward side of Oʻahu. "I find inspiration for my works in my surroundings and my travels. I incorporate my many interests and my emotions into my work while striving toward a sense of intensity in the spirit of each piece. Starting with a concept, focused energy shapes and develops each work to completion. To keep my work fresh, I enjoy creating art in different forms and mediums.
