About Pat Dice
As a visionary, Pat Vialpando Dice has more to say with her visual stories than ever before. Her paintings reflect her innermost feelings and visions of the world around her. She explores the full range of human emotions, from anger and fear to love and healing, with a deep respect for spirituality. Pat's paintings are not just art, they are an expression of her soul, and a reflection of the world as she sees it.
