About Patti Mollica: Patti Mollica believes that truly great painting is not about the “subject matter,” but rather the way an artist communicates beauty, sensitivity and integrity in whatever is painted. She believes that a painter’s job is to show the viewer the inherent beauty of all subjects and scenes, most especially the ones that are not commonly thought of in an artistic light.
