Patricia McCarthy

Pat was born in New Jersey and was introduced to painting at an early age by her grandmother.  She has spent most of her adult life in Massachusetts and Vermont.

Curtis and Rockport artist, Caleb Stone. Pat lives in Gloucester where she paints in the studio and “en plein air”  primarily in oil.    She frequently travels to Ireland and Italy to paint with family and friends.
