Patti Mauro is a local watercolor artist who calls California’s beautiful Mother Lode home. Inspired from an early age by nature, gardens, and the quiet beauty found in everyday life, she creates paintings that invite viewers to slow down, look closely, and discover a little wonder in the world around them.

Working primarily in watercolor, Patti explores the interplay of color, texture, and light. Her paintings range from softly atmospheric and contemplative to playful and whimsical, often capturing an ethereal quality that feels both peaceful and imaginative. Delicate washes, expressive color, and thoughtful compositions give her work a sense of mood while allowing the fluid and sometimes unexpected nature of watercolor to shine through.

Whether inspired by a landscape, a garden, or a simple moment of natural beauty, Patti approaches her work with curiosity and a love of the medium. She is delighted to be part of Aloft Art Gallery and to share her paintings with the local community.
