surrounded her.
By 9-12-01, her photographs graced the newspapers around the planet.
Patricia has been recognized at the Arlington National Cemetery
Gallery, in Washington DC, where her photographs from 9-11 were
hung on display. Later the show traveled throughout the United States. Her
work has been seen in NYC at
the National Arts Club, the
Prince Street Gallery in Soho, and the Wooster Gallery
and The Center for
Photography at Woodstock, NY.
Newsweek Magazine "viewers"
named one of her photographs as the Top Ten Photographs
of
the week.
Patricia is magical with children and babies. She uses the same technique
with children, as she uses with her Photo-Journalism work, both resulting in
candid photographs.
Watching her "Wrangle" or watching her photograph a baby, one observes her
telepathically communicating with the child, filling the baby with an
incredible boost of confidence and sheer joy. Patricia has worked as a
professional Wrangler for the following magazines and Corporations:
Parents,
Child,
Family Circle,
More,
Toys "R" Us,
Babies "R" Us, and
Hanna Anderson just to name a few.
She attended Colorado College, an Ivy League liberal arts
school, which taught from the "Block Program". Studying to be an actress,
she studied under Sydney Pollack and Sandra Seacat, to name a few. One of
her three-week
acting partners was Christopher Reeves (after he had made the successful
Superman movie). During this period Patricia starred in musicals and
directed two rock opera's, where she received a standing ovation every
night.
When Patricia was still a teenager, she won a State Championship in
"Children's Story Telling" as she rewrote a rare story in her own animated
style.
Patricia has a B.A. with a Major in Communication and a Minor in
English and a Concentration in Performing Arts.
Before University, she
attended the boarding school American Musical School of Arts,
during which she performed with the "Young Americans",
a performing group compared with today's American Idol.
Patricia then went abroad attending King's College
(a branch of Cambridge in the U.K.), furthering her studies
as
an actress and writer, while studying under legendary theatrical critic Jon
Lahr and Diane Devlin.

After graduating from College,
she arrived in NYC,
with an
invitation from a Top Modeling Agency.
Staying true to her
passion,
she worked as an actress for the first couple years until tempted by
the high
paying modeling jobs that were offered overseas. It's there where she took
up the camera as she traveled the world, living in several major cities
around the globe: Paris, Madrid, Milano, Florence, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg,
Athens, Greece and several exotic islands. She gravitated towards the
children. And her trained director's eye became apparent with her first
photography show,
entitled Children of the World,
which was held at a trendy café in Florence, Italy.
She had an apartment in the center
square overlooking Florence's beauty and culture.
While living in Athens, she resided in the Grande Bretagne
Hotel on Sigtagma Square. While living in Berlin, "The Wall" came
crumbling down.
In Paris, she enjoyed a lifestyle where she sipped champagne
overseeing the Champs Elysees: Yet, Patricia has also lived in teepees at
the Four Corners National Monument Park. Her diverse background has
allowed her to gain a unique perspective on life.
For several years Patricia Mitchell was a major fixture in New York's City
social scene, appearing in over a hundred society and fashion magazines
in the U.S. as well as from around the world.
