ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Patricia Roncone’s artistic journey began in Sarnia, Ontario, where she was born and raised. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at York University and continued on to the University of Western Ontario, where she received a Bachelor of Education, specializing in Visual Arts. She has been teaching and developing her art practice ever since.
Her current work is dedicated to exploring watercolours and realism, and her subject matter is inspired by nature, inspirational quotes, and personal experiences. Narrative elements and symbols are used to communicate with the viewer, encouraging them to meditate on the ways we seek inner peace, discover our voices, and achieve equilibrium in an often challenging and hectic world.
Roncone’s work has been shown in a variety of group exhibitions, including the 30th International Fine Art Exchange Annual Group show in Quincy, Florida, the Happy Maru Gallery in Seoul, South Korea. She participated in the Brooklyn Art Library’s Sketchbook Projects and has donated works to the annual Twitter Art Exhibit in 2019 to 2022.
She lives and works in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada.

Hello.
I’m Patricia and I’m a fine artist specializing in creating art that calms. Through the translucency of watercolour, the natural subjects of rocks, and the intricate details of my paintings, I aim to transform spaces into beautiful sanctuaries.
