Pat Ransom

Some works by Pat Ransom may be available for purchase at the Loft Gallery location on Bruce St in Thornbury, Ontario. Commissions are also accepted. We are also pleased to announce a new studio location in Craigleith Ontario (coming fall 2023). Stay tuned. 

An award-winning graduate of  Ontario College of Art and Design University(Honours Painting and Drawing 2002, BFA with Distinction 2011). The focus of her work has been large abstracted urbanscapes of downtown Toronto, images of the Georgian Bay area near her Craigleith home and, "because human gestures fascinate me", she continues to work with the figure - especially portraits and figurescapes.

Pat works as a professional visual artist from her studio in Etobicoke. Pat has been invited to participate in a variety of juried shows where her paintings have won prizes.

She shows regularly in commercial and public venues, and is also a respected fine arts and painting instructor. Her work has been acquired by private and commercial collectors in Canada, the United States, Mexico and the United Kingdom as well as appearing on Canadian book covers and pamphlets.
