About Patricia Burrows:
Patricia Burrows is a studio potter in Gulfport, Florida. Her work is inspired by flowers and the outdoor environment. While working as an academic interventional radiologist, she was a passionate gardener and spent as much time with nature as possible. She applies botanical and whimsical effects to her work with inlaid slip drawings, flower pressing, sprigs (appliques) made with her handmade molds, and watercolor-like application of stains.
About Patrick Bettison:
At age eighteen, Patrick moved to Glasgow, Scotland (he’d grown up in Australia). He began playing jazz with multi-instrumentalist Bobby Wishart, who taught him pretty much everything he needed to know about music. After spending eighteen months in Glasgow, he moved to London, freelancing playing jazz with many different musicians including, Tim Whitehead, Jim Mullen, Django Bates, Gary Husband and Acoustic Alchemy. After spending eight years in London, Patrick moved to Tampa, Florida. While in Florida Patrick worked with Gumbi Ortiz, Manfredo Fest, Kenny Drew Jr. and Tom Carabasi, playing mostly Brazilian and Cuban influenced jazz. During this time Patrick began recording and gigging on chromatic harmonica and piano. Patrick returned to London for another five years and played with even more people, including Tim Garland, Nicolas Meier and Asaf Sirkis. He is currently living in St Petersburg, Florida and is playing with bossa nova artist Daniela Soledade.
