Pat Hidson is a Canadian artist who makes her home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a city rich in culture and strong community. She has thrived as an artist and has been showing her work regularly in galleries and exhibits for many years. Her upbringing was fortunate in that her grandmother, Dorothy Ryland, was a fine artist who was a pioneer in the early years of the Edmonton Art Gallery, where Pat was an art student as a child. She also had an exemplary high school art teacher at Queen Elizabeth High School. This foundation, combined with an unstoppable and intense daily practice, has given her work a richness and confidence that can only be achieved with the dedication inherent to a lifetime of making art.

Her work is always based on forming a record of visual and tactile experience. Metaphysical studies have compelled her work into the realm of abstraction.
