About the Instructor
Rev. Dr. Patty Roberts is a life-long artist and retired Ordained Elder of the United Methodist Church. As a hospice chaplain and Director of Spiritual Care at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital in Wheaton, IL, Patty incorporated art as a means of healing and spiritual insight in various approaches for patients, families and staff. Since retiring she has pursued a passion for abstract painting, particularly in the medium of oil and cold wax. Her work reflects her belief that “spiritual grounding, deep introspection, creativity, and community are more important than ever in order to bring about the healing of our society and planet.” Patty has recently exhibited at the Marshall J. Gardner Art Center in Miller Beach, the Towle Theater in Hammond, and the Chesterton Art Fair. She will exhibit at Chicago’s “One of a Kind Art Fair” in April.
