About the Item

Artist Comments
Three colorful and delectable cupcakes stand in a row. A carrot-flavored one entices on the left. In the middle, a blue-iced delight boasts a cherry on top of a drizzle of chocolate syrup. On the right, a pink-frosted treat displays a blueberry and a sprig of green leaves. Bold colors and defined brushstrokes give them a lively and appealing appearance. A muted purple background contrasts with their vibrant hues, making the desserts stand out prominently.


About the Artist
Pat Doherty follows in the tradition of Bay Area artists who paint what they love. Her culinary series is a reflection of her surroundings; Pat is a third generation San Franciscan now living in Marin. The Bay Area is the perfect place to find the petit fours and decadent pastries featured in her work "Sweet Choices." Similar in subject matter to Wayne Theibaud's desserts, Pat’s unique style starts with a rich color palette and an angled picture plane to achieve depth. The subjects are often simple, but Pat takes the time to understand them and develop a mastery of light and shadow. The art has a certain humor and light-heartedness as well, especially with her series of dogs and bite-sized confections. Pat's style is inspired by her previous work in the graphic design industry, when she was the art director of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, art director of San Francisco magazine, and senior art director at a private design firm. Pat's work has been featured in American Art Collector magazine, several solo shows, including the Caffe Museo in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, as well as many group shows, including frequent showings at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art.
