Patricia Hafkemeyer – Originally from Connecticut, Pat studied art at the University of Connecticut. She graduated with a degree in Education and taught for 40 years. She traveled extensively, due to her husband’s military career. She has been a resident of Fairfax, Virginia since 1997.
Since retiring from teaching in 2017, Pat has enjoyed dedicating more time to her art work. Pat has been a member of the Loft Gallery since 2018 and is often found painting in her studio.
