Bio
At 71 Pasty M. Blasier is perhaps Portland’s oldest and most conceptually challenging emerging artist. Patsy’s long interest in the trappings of business and secretarial objects has blossomed over the last year into an extensive exploration of words and numbers as visual symbols composed on a page. In her Paper Work Patsy writes, and duplicates business forms and correspondence compositions through a unique process most closely resembling the practice of observational drawing, and re-inaction. Recently Blasier has extended her practice to include painting and drawing. These are often mixed medium presentations of her paperwork. Blasier’s paintings reveal an instinctively complex and nuanced sense of color that is almost impossible to deconstruct. She is also the unofficial counselor at Project Grow; she shares her wisdom and compassion as naturally and poetically as she chooses her colors.
