Artist Overview

My name is Patricia A. LeClair. I live in Sioux City, Iowa. I have been interested in being an artist since I was old enough to hold a pencil in my hand. My first art paper was the butcher paper my parents brought home from the butcher shop.

During my school years I was awarded art scholarships to the Sioux City Art Center where my love for visual arts continued to develop.

In 1975, I graduated from The Washington School, from Port Washington, NY with a degree in " The Study of Art Media". In 1994, I received an Associate Degree in Graphic Arts and Desktop Publishing from Western Iowa Techical College, in Sioux City Iowa.. I am an active member of the Siouxland Artist Group.

I've done everything from painting highway billboards for a Sioux City outdoor advertising company to graphic designer for Sioux City's numerous newpaper tabloids.

My artistic ability is very versatile. I am skilled at painting animals, landscapes, still-life, adults, and children, which has furthered my technique.

I’ve won ribbons in the "Worldwide Elvis Presley Art Competitions", in Memphis, TN, and I recently won second place and honorable mention, in the "Siouxland Artist Art Competition".

I work on consignment and I have prints available for purchase.
