About Mary Pat Ettinger – Artist & Instructor

Mary Pat Ettinger’s work is often described as peaceful and uplifting. Having lived much of her life in rural settings, she draws daily inspiration from solitude, natural beauty, and the simple joys around her. From laundry hanging in the sun to flower gardens bursting through picket fences, and from sweeping canyons to mountain vistas, Mary Pat paints what she loves and what surrounds her.

Through her art, she hopes to share the serenity and gratitude she experiences every day—the songs of birds, the hum of crickets, and the quiet of the pastures near her home. Her paintings aim to encourage, inspire, and provide a sense of calm and beauty amid life’s challenges.
