Professional mural artist Patricia Buzo has always had a passion for the arts, and has trained at some of the countries finest art facilities. She began her journey when she was just 13 years old when she attended her first painting class. As she realized her talent, she made the decision to finish high school at home, enabling her to study fine art full time. She studied drawing and painting, learning from the work of the great masters such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Paolo Veronese, and Giambattista Tiepolo.

In 2001, at the age of 21 she founded her own decorative painting business she called Patricia's Palette Mural Studios. To gain more knowledge of the decorative arts she attended business and faux finishing classes, as well as trompe l'oeil mural painting and designer wall finishes workshops.

Patricia's expertise lies in decorative finishes such as fine faux effects and trompe l'oeil murals, and has had the opportunity to teach trompe l'oeil, stenciling, and color theory classes.

Starting in 2003, she used her talent to benefit local and national charities including the Starkey Hearing Foundation for which she won WCCO Radio's "Good Neighbor Award" in July of 2004.

Most recently she appeared on HGTV's "Landscape Smart" as a guest mural expert in which she and the homeowner completed a mural scene on a fence. She will also be a featured artist in the new book "The House That Faux Built" due out in the spring of 2006.
