As a multi-disciplinary artist, Patton uses found family photos and memory to create work that explores personal narratives primarily through the use of color and form manipulation.

She employs several pallets ranging from high chromatic colors to low intensity tinted hues. Patton uses color as a way to express the emotion that comes with experience. With various mediums, she creates work that appears to be suspended in a dream like state with broken brush marks and pockets that reveal an unresolved underpainting underneath the surface.
