Dori Patrick, Mixed Media Maker: About Me

Hi friends, my name is Dori Patrick. I'm a mixed media artist living in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I am a mother of two fantastic grown kiddos, and I'm married to a sweet, long suffering hubby who cheers me on daily. We have two rescue labs who are spoiled beyond measure. I dabble in all sorts of mediums: acrylics, graphite, pastel, fabric, clay, stitching, wood and canvas. I love mixing my mediums and breaking rules. You name it, I'll try it!

Art journals and altered books are an important part of my creative practice as well. Within the covers of my books, I have fun experimenting with new supplies, trying out ideas, and just getting in the habit of moving my hands.
