Patricia Cole-Ferullo elicits the elements of nature
through expressionistic works in experimental
media. The artist exposes the mystical relationships
in the natural environment, conjuring interactions of
earth, air, fire and water, through experiments in
color, texture, form, and line. Cole-Ferullo explains, “I
think it is important to recognize that we are all
connected, that everything we say and do will have an
effect; everything we think will result in some kind of
action, even when we are not aware. My aim is to
evoke a sense of the mysterious connection between
all things, both seen and, especially, unseen.”
Cole-Ferullo works primarily in water media, but also
uses pastel, ink, earth, twigs, found objects, and
pencil. The work displays an influence of abstract
expressionist artists Mark Rothko and Helen
Frankenthaler. At times, Cole-Ferullo incorporates
text into her abstract works, communicating through a
new visual language, recalling the work of Cy
Twombly. Representational forms also emerge, as
human figures and landscapes. Cole-Ferullo’s work
continues to evolve.
Patricia Cole-Ferullo is a native of Fairmont, West
