Begun as a hobby, drawing quickly became a passion for Patricia as she improved her skills and techniques. Her natural abilities were enhanced with formal training at the Kniess School of Fine Arts in Baltimore, The Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center in Frederick, MD, and the Montpelier Cultural Arts Center, Laurel, MD.
Enjoying the flexibility and versatility of pencil, Patricia specializes in portraits. She marvels at the myriad of emotions that are expressed in the human face and enjoys capturing the spirit and essence of her subjects in breathtaking realism and clarity. Not merely a sketch, these portraits are detailed drawings painstakingly rendered to capture the true likeness of her subject. Inspired by photographs of her subjects, Patricia works in the style of the old masters in creating these realistic renderings. Greco has done commissions for a number of families seeking lovely representations of their loved ones.
Her portraits have won many awards including People’s Award, First Place and Best in Show at the Kniess School of Fine Arts, Baltimore, Best in Show at the 2015 and 2016 Senior Expo in Baltimore, MD and the prestigious Artist’s Choice Award at the 2013 Members Show and People's Choice Award at the Carroll Art Center in Westminster MD. She was also selected as a finalist in the 2013 and 2014 Laurel Art Guild Juried Art Show in Laurel MD. Her work has also been shown at the Montpelier Mansion Art Center in Laurel MD , the Carroll Art Center in Westminster MD , Art Show of Baltimore Art Guild, the Pandola Learning Center and the Italian Cultural Center, Baltimore, MD.
