Artist’s Work on Display in the Mayor’s Office

Mayor William M. Manzi has named Patricia Beaulieu as June’s Artist of the Month. Patricia graduated from Lowell High School and continued her art education at Middlesex Community College. She also took classes at Mass College of Art, as well as Adult Ed classes at NECCO. She is a proud member of the Methuen-based Arts Institute Group of Merrimack Valley, Inc.

Patricia specializes in portraits of animals, and she has worked as a pet-sitter for the past 13 years after being inspired by her great love for her Yorkshire Terrier, Francine. Her pet portraits allow her to meld her long time pet-sitting service and artwork.

“As a pet-sitter for over a decade, my love for animals has grown stronger with each passing year. Being able to then begin capturing their essence through my art has been a special blessing to me.” Beaulieu said.

Mayor Manzi stated, “Patricia is one of the many talented artists who are members of Methuen’s Arts Institute Group. I encourage the public to come by City Hall and view her colorful paintings of animals.”

The Methuen Artist of the Month Program was created by Mayor Manzi three years ago in order to give members of the Methuen Arts Community a forum to display their work and to encourage participation in Methuen’s growing creative economy. Methuen artists interested in being considered for Artist of the Month should contact the Mayor’s Office.
