Patter Hellstrom's Hungry Ghost Dreams 48" x 48
" was featured by designer Scott Meacham Woods at The 2015 Hampton Designer Showhouse presented by Traditional Home to benefit Southampton Hospital.  

"Scot Meacham Wood's Camp Citron demonstrates a beautiful medley of color and textures together in a small space that somehow makes it appear larger then it is.  He creates a welcoming Americana aesthetic that makes you yearn for summer all year long." NEST

"The mud room’s bold color palette reflects the acid yellow and bright red of its tartan accessories, selected from the designer’s own textile and home decor collection, Scot Meacham Wood Home, launching this fall. Sporting goods such as an antique croquet set and bespoke kayaks imbue the space with a lively, adventurous feel. Original contemporary artwork from Andrea Arroyo, Jhina Alvarado, and Patter Hellstrom represented by San Francisco-based ArtHaus Gallery adorns the room’s walls. Uniting his home of San Francisco with the Showhouse’s New York location, Scot selected pieces from artists hailing from both coastal cities and presents their works side by side. With his tailored details and fresh palette, Scot creates an impactful space that is both functional and chic." PRWEB

Inside Innovative Minds: An Interview with Entrepreneur Patter Hellstrom. "Earning respect and a living as an artist is no easy feat but Patter Hellstrom has done just that. Working out of her San Francisco studio, the postmodern American abstract painter has exhibited in museums across the country, and has served as guest artist to the Mithila Art Institute in India in 2008. In 2012 French filmmaker Cedric Pillard created a short film about Hellstrom's process related to her installation project at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Armed with such impressive credits, Meet Advisors was excited to find out what makes this energized artist tick by asking three key questions."

Fall 2012 
Film by Cedric Pilard on Grief Path, an installation by Patter Hellstrom 

On September 4, 2012, we’ll unveil a 40-foot long mural entitled Grief Path, on view through the end of 2012 in the 3rd floor gallery of the CIIS Main Building at 1453 Mission Street in San Francisco. Integrating techniques developed over a fifteen-year study of Chinese brush painting with very contemporary materials, Hellstrom often paints on slick polypropylene surfaces. The artist balances structure and chance, and artistic influences that range from the remote villages in the Bihar region of India near Nepal to Agnes Martin’s measured abstraction. 

Utilizing the loose, expressive, calligraphic brushstroke that characterizes her bestknown work, Hellstrom will put to use a wide range of tools, working with everything from house brooms and broad old-fashioned wall-paper paste brushes, to Japanese sumi brushes. To achieve the viscosity required to work upright on a wall at this scale, she’ll use low VOC house paints from the hardware store to achieve her lush, translucent, and emotionally evocative washes.

Deirdre Visser, CIIS arts curator, comments on the mural: “Mapping the emotional, psychological and cognitive dimensions of grief, as they’re experienced through time, Hellstrom’s piece will complicate conventional ideas about grief and loss. These conventions include suggestions that it should last only a fixed period of time, or that there is an uni-directional path of healing that will be common from one individual to the next, or even one experience of loss to the next for the same person.” The mural will be on view to the public through the end of 2012.  Public Programming: Friday, September 21, The Arts at CIIS hosts Patter Hellstrom in a public dialogue about her work, and intersecting influences from Buddhism to abstract expressionism.

Jason Lahman's essay about Hellstrom's work

Patter Hellstrom's Sublime Choreographies of the Centered Self  "The rich acrylic inks slide, stretch and swim across the polypropylene, the visual equivalents of musical sounds.....The volatility of liquid has been channeled with extreme skill into compositions that are redolent with the rhythms of underlying cosmic processes.  One feels that the surface is  a laboratory, a theatre to witness the mysterious stages of an alchemical unfolding."  Jason Lahman is a Guest Blogger Art21, historian, poet and essayist based in San Francisco

LA Weekly said of her work:  "Patter Hellstrom, whose calligraphic brushstrokes and daring use of color will have a natural dialogue with the chance element of the flow painters."

ARTSLANT images reproduced | SFStation About CHANCE WIND

Having recently returned from an extended voyage to India, Patter Hellstrom shares her visual and spiritual inspiration for a new body of work showcased in this exhibition. The complexity and fluidity of the many peoples, ideas, histories, religions, and personal narratives encountered on her journey find allegorical expression in paintings such as Travel Log; an impenetrable yet absorptive column of swirling liquid blues and murky black, marked by faint yellow paths and strains of vermillion passages and points.   Tradition and ephemerality scream and fade through works such as Sindoor, with fiery blots of red and orange bleeding vapors of yellow and sky blue streams to the edges of the sheet. The enigmatic steps and arcs that comprise India lures viewers to linger on each pool, spray, speckle, and rivulet of color, encouraging them to construct their own stories and imaginary maps. This exhibition will be on view and open to the public from Oct. 23 - Nov. 13, 2008.
