Patty moved to North Carolina, from Ohio, in 1986 when the manufacturing company where she worked moved their headquarters.
Patty has a B.S. in Business and retired as Vice President, Controller. She has served on the Boards for National Association of Accountants and Interact (an organization working to end domestic & sexual violence). As an accountant “creativity” was discouraged. To escape from the black and white world of accounting Patty sought a release for her creativity. She started working with silverplate. The drive behind this was to take something that was discarded, or no longer useable in its original form, and make it into something that is useful and beautiful. |
