It was a sunny and warm August morning. I drove along the tree canopied street to a quaint home cuddled up on the river in Wasaga Beach. Massive snowball hydrangeas greeted me and a smiling face, Artist,Patricia Schwimmer, famous Canadian and the beach's best kept secret. A gem. An art treasure; tucked inside a lovely home filled with fresh vignettes and original art. Airy and open to the decks leaning over a lush fern hill. Baskets filled with beach flip flops scattered about at each doorway - Ducks floating by at the waterfront. Green tea, art studio and shells. Wish you could have joined Patricia and I, but alas...this is not possible (Yet....she may be hosting a "Sunrise to Sunset Art Retreat Day" or a "Wine and Paint" evening soon - in her home! - stay tuned). I had the pleasure of interviewing and photographing Patricia today - at her home and Petals in Thyme. She heads to NY tomorrow for her art exhibit (of abstracts!) opening - details below.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Patricia Schwimmer: Go HERE.
