Patti Lucas Hopkins is a Maryland Eastern Shore native and has spent over twenty-five years painting rural landscapes, bay views, figures in the landscape and still life.  Patti paints with oil and works to capture scenes in her natural surroundings. Patti lives on her farm on the Little Choptank River with her husband, dogs, chickens and surrounded by wild geese, deer, fox and wild turkeys. She takes inspiration from the expansive landscape, the changing season, the cycle of the crops, migrations and human activities such as working the water, sailing and gardening.
