Patty Ortiz built her core artistic practice based on 20 years of being an artist, 25 years of art management, and 15 years of being a curator of contemporary art. From this broad base, she has constructed a hybrid approach that reflects her longstanding interest in collective activity. Ortiz believes that art intrinsically is a social object and when placed as an action in relationship with the viewer and participant the art carries a profound interconnectedness within real experience.
