Patricia Dunn-Walker is originally from Illinois where she received her training in graphic design. She moved to Minnesota to pursue a career in design. After working in the field for a number of years she took a year-long break to teach English in Japan. As a result of being immersed in such a visually rich and ancient culture she was inspired to shift focus from commercial work to fine art.
Throughout the years Pat has exhibited her work around southeastern Minnesota and the Twin Cities in solo and group exhibitions. She was the recipient of the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council Legacy grant creating a body of work focusing on Female Heroes. She loves combining the current subject of her work with found materials especially old print ads.
She resides in Rochester, Minnesota and her work is in private collections around the United States. In addition to showing in galleries Pat accepts commission work.
