A need to generate more income in New York City sent Patty back to school to earn a degree in business.

Time to put her brush strokes to a living breathing canvas. She apprenticed with several professional Makeup Artists in New York City, learning everything she could from them. She worked as a print Makeup Artist before moving to Hollywood to pursue her dream. With additional training in the film industry to fine tune her instincts as an artist, she learned film techniques and set protocol. Today, Patty still lives in Los Angeles, and enjoys a successful career as a makeup department head and personal Makeup Artist to the stars!
