  About the Artist

atty Pieropan Dong lives in rural Auburn and enjoys working in a variety of media: oils, pastels, watercolors and woodblock printing. Her subjects include California landscapes, still life and portraits. A graduate of Boston University with a BFA in painting, she has also studied at Boston State College and Suffolk University. She has enjoyed plein aire painting trips to Martinique, Italy, Portugal, Maine, Arizona and Mexico. A member of Placer Arts League, Arts Council of Placer County, and the Rockport Art Association in Massachusetts, Patty has won numerous awards in juried exhibitions, and has several one-person shows. Disappearing relics are a recurring theme throughout much of her work, capturing abandoned buildings and cars as nature takes them over. "I like the theme of something that was once part of our lives and is now forgotten," she says. Also an art instructor, Patty has taught at the Pohnpei Island High School in Micronesia and Del Oro High School in Loomis. She has taught private lessons to children and adults from 1986 to the present. She presently teaches art classes at St. Joseph Parish School and Alta Vista Elementary Schools, as well as Placer County Home School. She is also the head art docent at Bowman School in Auburn-a position she has held since 1987.
