Patricia Tuohy

Patricia Tuohy is a visual artist who works with mixed media, fixing together disparate materials in order to evoke memories, shared experiences, questions, maybe a gasp. Or even a laugh. The images she creates may stick in the brain or unsettle something one didn’t know needed unsettling. Maybe something we see every day but no longer notice. Maybe that part of history we don’t recognize anymore but that still shapes our knowing or believing.

Patricia’s  work has been featured in group shows at the Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital and the Sitar Art Center, both Washington DC gallery spaces. 

Past grants and awards include Honorable Mention from the Black Maria Film and Video Festival for the independent short film “Butterflies/If it wasn’t for us”; a grant from LINE II Associates for the manuscript “AMERICA: Information 1981,” which she subsequently self published.

Patricia Tuohy, based in Washington DC, holds a BFA from Pratt Institute and a MA in Art History from the American University.
