ABOUT PAT LOTTIE: Patricia Lottie obtained her art education at Schoolcraft Community College and Wayne State University in Michigan. She was a founding member of the Arts and Culture Alliance of Manistee County and also served as the president of the Manistee Art Institute. Her art studio was her haven of creativity where she delved into every form of art. Even though she loved sharing her art passion, she was reticent to promote her own works.

Her education and involvement in the art field gave her a keen sense of fine, quality art. Pat saw the creativity in every artist and liked to encourage them. Often she would purchase some of their art pieces. Pat and her husband Glenn would each put $50 per month into a fund which they dedicated for the purchase of art.
