Patricia Elkin OAM

“Art is all around you, you have to acknowledge it. It's in the landscape. It's in the garden. It's in just one flower. It's all art.”

Words of wisdom from Patricia Elkin.  At 97, Pat was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for service to the arts in the New England region.

Pat Elkin was a founding member of the Packsaddle Fund Raising Committee at the New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) and remained Packsaddle Patron until her death on 1st May 2025, the day after her 100th birthday.  Farewell Pat.
