About the Artist in Residence program
As Artist in Residence aboard Oceania Cruises, Pat offers daily art classes open to guests of all skill levels. No prior experience is necessary — just a willingness to look, to try, and to enjoy the process.
Classes are held in the ship's dedicated studio space and occasionally on deck or ashore, plein air, in the destinations themselves. Each class focuses on a different subject or technique, inspired by the ports and seascapes of the current voyage.
Pat's original paintings are displayed and available for purchase throughout the voyage. Each work is painted on that specific voyage and is a one-of-a-kind original.
