Art at Beach Club Resort

Patricia M. Mansell 

Born in Kent, England, Patricia moved to Alberta, Canada in 1981.  She now lives in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.

Patricia took up painting in 1994 and was drawn to painting wildlife.  Learning and developing her style has taken her across North America to find new subjects to paint.  

She has a special interest in painting endangered wildlife.  Often something unique about the animal will inspire a painting.  She develops her paintings from research and photographing animals in the wild and enjoys bringing out each animal’s character.  

Patricia was Ducks Unlimited Sponsor Print Artist for Alberta in 2011 and is a Signature Member of the International Group, Artists for Conservation.  

ARTIST STATEMENT

“One of the strengths of wildlife art is its ability tell stories.  In my paintings I try to bring out the individuality of each animal as it goes about its everyday life.  

I portray many endangered animals, hoping that bringing them to life in my art will raise awareness of how close we are to losing them.”
