Patricia Byron
Known by her students as an empowering instructor, Patricia Isabella Byron is an abstract painter and poet who is heavily inspired by her years living in Turkey and Iran. She was compelled to paint and write about the natural beauty and historical sites she encountered, studying at the School of Persian Language & Culture of the University of Tehran, Iran. She continued her studies at Crealdé School of Art as a Fellowship Artist and Studio Artist. In 2006, she joined the faculty, teaching both adults and youth in tuition-based and free out-reach classes and festival workshops, including at the Epcot International Festival of the Arts. In 2021 she was promoted to the Crealdé's Painting & Drawing Program and Studio Manager position. Byron actively exhibits her work, maintains a FAVO gallery presence, and recently had a solo exhibition at the Mills Gallery in Orlando.
