Pat has been a member of the Centre for 17 years and is active as a fibre artist and rug hooker.  Her volunteerism spans from being on the Quilt Guild executive and the ICAC Board of Directors, currently as Chair.  Pat also teaches and leads workshops as well as a summer camp program for teens at the ICAC.  She shares her knowledge and encouragements during studio time with fellow members.  Her positive energy, ideas, and  ambition are contagious.  She has initiated and/or been involved in projects, such as Members’ Sharing and the Artful Alliance exhibition as well as the Chicken Challenge, Sheep Shenanigans and Yard Sale fundraisers, all of which promote connection and collaboration across the Centre’s artistic disciplines.  Pat readily steps up not just to volunteer, but to lead.  She is a thoughtful, considerate listener as well as a collaborative facilitator and team-player.  She actively promotes the Centre to others, whether it be to join the ICAC or to take part in a class.
