Patricia Keller earned both her Bachelor of Science Degree in Art Education and Master of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She has been an educator and professional painter for over thirty-five years.

A versatile artist, Keller utilizes a wide range of media in her paintings including watercolor, gouache, pastels, oils, and acrylics. Her main emphasis has centered around the natural landscape, especially the wilderness areas of Wisconsin. The foundation of her method is the exploration of color relationships as well as the introduction of unlikely color to express her personal response to the landscape. Her paintings have been exhibited in regional and national exhibitions, are included in many private, public and corporate collections.

Patricia is a professional member of Wisconsin Visual Artists, and she has served as curator for the University of Wisconsin, Madison's Steinhauer Trust Gallery.
