After visiting New York where she had an exhibition, she was inspired by the majestic shapes of the buildings and colour and buzz of the city. This is reflected in her  New York cityscapes.<br />On returning to London she looked around and was also inspired by the beautiful old buildings and the river banks of the Thames where Patricia painted Battersea Power Station and other London  scenes.
