River House Art Studio

River House Art Studio Riverhouse Art Studio is owned and run by Patricia Trudeau. She exhibits and sells her art work. This impacted her work years later. One work is now in UK.

Patricia Marie Trudeau is a professional artist living in the Capital Region of New York State. She was born and raised in Northport, New York, where, as a small child she began to study art from two local art teachers. Growing up on Long Island, Patricia would often ponder and meditate by the sea. The sea became her base reference, and the image of water is constant throughout her works; other in

spirations include her interest into the human spirit, nature, and God. Patricia, who attended the College of St. Rose and majored in Studio Art, also studied traditional and nontraditional art techniques. She graduated with a Bachelors of Science with Magna Cum Laude. Patricia won an art scholarship to the College of New Rochelle and second place in a Long Island competition. She has been featured in a number of newspapers; in addition, after winning first place in the art exhibition at the College of St. Rose, she debuted on public TV. She also won first place in the Reflections art competition held at Christ’s Church in Guilderland, New York. She continues to exibit her works. Throughout the years, Patricia has constantly sought out ways to exhibit her work regionally and nationally through galleries and murals. Two of Patricia’s paintings, created while she was in the fourth grade, are still at the St. Phillip Neri Elementary School in Northport, New York. Paintings, murals, and sculpture are the expressions of her soul that she wishes to share. In July of 2010, Patricia painted a large mural for Saint Ambrose School in Latham, New York. The mural is entitled, “Christ Loves the Children.” In addition to the St. Ambrose mural, she has also created murals for a daycare in the Heery Center in Albany, a residential home in Scotia, a Foster Care building in Albany. Patricia sells internationally as well. She paints on site too, when traveling. Others in Texas, Florida, Nebraska, Georgia for example. She is planning on selling prints on her website, which is 'under revision'. Patricia Marie Trudeau is the owner and teacher at River House Art Studio. She holds art lessons in her in-home studio throughout the week. She is now expanding her collection through prints of her original work and other fine art products, including canvas wraps. When she is not busy with her grandchildren, painting or teaching, Patricia spends time with her grandchildren, husband, cats, and dog named Bonnie rei, who, she believes, soothes and heals the wearies associated with life's struggles. She has a close relationship to nature; integrating the lessons to her students and personal art work. Patricia created a group called Nature Art on face book. She had on dog who was therapy-trained, named Yafah RIP. They were inseparable. Patricia and her husband are the proud of parents of three boys/now men – their three most precious Masterpieces. Like a tree with many branches, they have their own expanding families now. She adores them all and uses the experiences in her art works.

"She Sea” oil on canvas

The horizon is softened and almost dissolving, as if sea and sky are breathing into one another. There is no sharp division, no fixed place where one ends and the other begins. The waters roll in layered currents of charcoal, slate, silver, muted blue, and sea-green. The surface is alive with movement — scraped, brushed, built, and reworked — creating a feeling of water that is not still, but remembering.
The textures resemble tide patterns, currents beneath currents, wind crossing the surface, and hidden worlds below. The painting holds both calm and unease simultaneously. It is not a violent sea, yet it carries power. It feels ancient, maternal, contemplative.
There is an emotional weight to it — solitude perhaps, but not loneliness. Reflection. Endurance. The sea as witness.
To me, it speaks of life itself: layered, shifting, beautiful, unpredictable. We rise and fall like the swells. We carry storms beneath smooth surfaces. We are shaped by forces seen and unseen.
The long horizontal format deepens this experience. It asks the viewer not to glance, but to drift. To stand quietly and enter it.
It feels very much aligned with your own words: the sea as first mother — forever changing, yet forever new.

~~Carapax~~
Created from fired clay, glaze, acrylic paint, and branches, Carapax emerges as both guardian and vessel — a sheltering feminine form shaped from earth and memory.
Her physicality speaks of quiet strength: competent, grounded, calm. She does not demand attention through force, but through presence. Every curve, texture, and branch becomes part of a unified whole, as though nature itself gathered to assemble and protect her.
Her intricate shell cradles and shelters all that is fragile within and around her. The branches extend outward like protective limbs — guardians of vulnerability, resilience, and renewal. She embodies the instinct to shield while remaining deeply rooted to the natural world.
Within Carapax lives the tension between armor and tenderness: the need to protect oneself while still remaining open to life, growth, and connection. She stands as a quiet monument to endurance, femininity, and the ancient wisdom carried within the body of the earth itself.
