Patris Studio and Gallery: The New Chapter

I write this on Thursday October 27, 2016. My angel investor and I now own Patris Studio and Gallery.  It is exactly 2 months to the very day that Micah, the realtor,  texted me that the building was going up for sale.  It is a miracle story and I am humbled and grateful that my life's dream to have Patris Studio and Gallery in Oak Park has been granted. 

 During these last two months I often prayed and poured out my tears to the Lord, my mom and Terre Johnson up in the heavenly realms and asked them for wisdom, advice and miracles to happen.

From all practical points of view, it looked like the end of Patris Studio and Gallery in Oak Park.  I didn't qualify to buy the building, I didn't have the money.  I was unable to find another studio in Oak Park no matter where I looked.  Was this the end?

I walked into church one Sunday morning, devastated at the multiple offers coming in to purchase the building.  I saw this image on the screen and knew it was time to step out in faith and trust God to do a miracle as he did in the past for David when he triumphed over Goliath. I was up against a Goliath-sized situation, but I believed that the battle for my studio could be won from the Heavenly realms. 

And on this day, Sept. 27, 2016 the heavens opened up and grace poured down like rain upon me. 
In 2012, I moved into this amazing building owned by Terre Johnson and Michael Luna.  They became my art patrons and gave me the opportunity to turn this historic building into a thriving, vibrant art center.  I will be forever grateful to both Michael and Terre for allowing me to achieve my lifes' dream.
Thank you.

Art Revealed Show: Patris Studio and Art Gallery



The "Art Revealed Show" with Gayle Rappaport Weiland interviewing Patris

Way back in June of this year, Gayle asked me to be her guest on the Art Revealed show for sometime in October.  I've known Gayle a long time and thought this would be a fun thing to do.  I wasn't sure what my "Art Reveal" would be at that time, but thought "Oh something clever will come to mind as we get closer to the filming day."  I was busy with the studio, summer travel plans, and just trying to keep up with the day to day activities at the studio.

As the filming day neared in October, Gayle called me and I shared with her that I just saw the For Sale sign pounded into the ground outside my studio.  The Patris Studio and Gallery was being sold and I myself was not able to purchase it.  Gayle and I brainstormed ideas, and both agreed the show had to go on.

When the camera crew showed up to begin filming that October afternoon, I hugged Gayle and said, "You are never going to believe this. I have something very exciting to reveal on the "Art Revealed" show today.

Announcing: Peggi Kroll Roberts Figure Painting Workshop

Painting by Peggi Kroll Roberts
Announcing:
Peggi Kroll Roberts  
Figure Painting Workshop

When:  October 21-23, 2016
Where: Patris Studio and Gallery
Cost: $475 and  includes all model fees
Registration: contact Patris for details


In Peggi's workshop, we will paint the figure in simple costumes, utilizing props, different poses and simple vignettes in the studio. There will be lots of demonstrations emphasizing the big shapes and color/value relationships.  This workshop is great for beginning to advanced students alike, in a comfortable and easy-going atmosphere. 

"We will cover a lot of canvas-burning mileage by painting smaller sizes. I believe that more is learned through many small starts than laboring over a large canvas."​

In Memory of Terre Johnson--long live his Legacy

To the man who was my neighbor, my friend, my landlord, my art patron, my community comrade and business leader, our Oak Park advocate and executive director - and so much more - Terre Johnson will always be remembered for the life he lived and the lives he touched. What a legacy to leave and what a life to celebrate. I will always remember you always Terre Johnson and be forever grateful to you.

My heart longed to set up my studio in Oak Park and this beautiful building belonging to Terre and Michael was the perfect place. In 2012, they gave me the keys and we began to prepare the place to become the Patris Studio and Art Gallery.

On a hot 2nd Saturday in July of 2012, we held the grand opening of  Patris Studio and Gallery in Oak Park with a huge celebration and open house. 


At the gallery, there are many special events as well as all of the day to day art happenings.  One special event that Terre organized brought us Mayor Kevin Johnson, Jay Schenirer, and a very important VIP from Washington DC. 

So it's with most grateful heart and thankfulness that I will always remember Terre Johnson for giving me an opportunity to make my dream come true--to create a thriving, vibrant art center here in Oak Park and have a studio where I can continue to grow, learn, and develop my art skills.
Thank you Terre Johnson and Michael Luna.
