Patra Holter

Multi-media painter
Washburn, WI

I am a painter, a printmaker, and often work with mixed media. I received my BS degree in art at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and an MFA at the University of California in Berkeley. Further study took me to the Royal Academy of Art in Norway and other art schools.

I was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship in painting to Norway with an extension to Lapland and am the author of a book on photography. I taught art at the University of California in Berkeley, other grade levels, and was the supervisor of art for the Scarsdale, New York School System.

As an artist who was born on Chequamegon Bay I am influenced by the natural world around me and am at home working realistically or non objectively. My work is currently at the North County Seasons exhibit at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center and at my studio in Ashland, also at Karlyn’s Yellowbird Gallery in Washburn and in private collections in the United States and Norway.
