Meet Our Artist: Patti Blau

Patti Blau is a freelance illustrator and artist with a passion for both vintage and the tropical lifestyle. She is currently based in Miami where she can easily appreciate both. “I like to go to local thrift stores and seasonal flea markets, and I drive up to Mount Dora for Renninger’s shows,” she says. “I sometimes drive down Sunday mornings to the farmers market at the old Parrot Jungle. I love the beach, I hate the traffic but love driving over the causeways (like the one to Key Biscayne).” Her work has appeared in numerous publications and exhibitions, including edible Hudson Valley and edible Westchester.
