Description: Patricia is a realist painter of still lifes and portraits. This painting "Flame Grapes" is executed with trompe l'oeil precision. The canvas is mounted in deep shadowbox frame that continues the illusion--it is unclear where the painting ends and the frame begins. "San Francisco Chronicle" art critic Kenneth Baker wrote: "What makes Patricia Hansen a realist, more than just a fine representational painter, is that her paintings are a lesson in seeing." Patricia Hansen is represented in major collections including: Coca Cola, HBO,American Express, CIT Corporation, New Orleans Museum of Fine Art and Tulane University.
