Patricia

Growing up in a small South Texas border town, Patricia Alarcón Missler experienced the close ties of a Mexican-American family. The youngest of five children, Missler felt the influence of her parents and extended family as she developed her parents’ love of art, their appreciation of beauty, and their culture.

Missler graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a major in sociology and a minor in English. She worked for many years as a social worker before she moved to Hawaii in 1983.

Over the years she has studied with many well-known artists. Missler continues to paint and write.

Patricia and her husband now reside in Bellingham, WA. Her latest PNW inspired artwork has been featured at Chuckanut Bay Gallery, Cordata Gallery (Gallery Syre) and Story Pole Fundraiser in Bellingham.
