Patricia Rodriguez hails from Oak Cliff, Texas and has been making art and music for over fifteen years.
Her passion for both has led her to not only show in numerous exhibits but also curate a few group shows of her own. She was responsible for curating the show "The Natural State" at Avenue Arts Venue and "The Rock and Roll Circus" at Sons of Hermann Hall . Both shows featured over 12 artists, some of which had never shown before.
Patricia studied Painting and Design at Mountain View College after graduating from Booker T. Washington (Arts Magnet) and has since shown at the Dallas Museum of Art, where she previously worked, as well as various galleries and venues around Dallas including:Start Gallery Dallas, The Janette Kennedy Gallery, Avenue Arts Venue, The Ice House, BANK ONE, Bath House Cultural Center and consignment shops such as MAKE and Dulce Interior Consignment.
She is dedicated to not only making art but exposing the wonderful talent that surrounds and inspires her and showcasing emerging talent whenever the opportunity arises.
Patricia was just featured on GOOD MORNING TEXAS for her creative new idea called HOUR SWAP which allows people to swap an hour of their working wage for an hours worth of art. HOUR SWAP is wildly popular, you can view her GMT segment here.
She has received press in the Dallas Morning News, The Observer, QUICK DFW and Oak Cliff People for her art and innovative events coordinated through her collective The Lollipop Shoppe, of which she has been a co-founder since 2004. Her work has also been featured in the Wichita Falls Literature and Art Review magazine Winter 2010 edition.
