Patrice Rivera was told at 8-years old that she had no artistic talent. Nevertheless, she has always wanted to be an artist. At 12-years old, her journey with Spirit began as she was nearly kicked out of Methodist confirmation classes because she asked too many questions! At 25 she walked into Mile Hi Church Church of Religious Science and knew she has found the spiritual path she was looking for. At 32, as a single mother of four, she began a college career culminating in multiple scientific degrees (or, as she calls it, alphabet soup after her name) all obtained utilizing the spiritual principles she had learned.
The education that she is most proud of is her Practitioner studies. As a licensed Religious Science Practitioner (RScP) for more than a dozen years, she has assisted scores of clients to overcome their fears, realize who they really are, discover and embrace their dreams. As the mother of four and the grandmother of 13, she has raised new generations of beings to know their magnificence.
Since April 2016, Patrice and her husband, Edgar, have been traveling the coastlines of the United States in their motor home, this is where her inspiration has come from. She always wanted to paint… On her 60th birthday, the love of her life, Edgar, showered her with art supplies and, on the cliffs overlooking the northern Pacific ocean, she began to teach herself to paint. This was June 2016. She has learned to paint by trusting the Creative Impulse that is the nature of who she is. It is her passion, joy and sense of humor that enables her to put the brush in the paint and onto the paper. She starts each painting session with a meditation and by asking her co-Creator to flow through her. Sometimes it’s whimsical, sometimes it’s contemplative, always magically playful. She started mailing her at artwork (as cards) to friends and family. She had to let go of wondering what anyone else thought. The more she sends out what she calls ‘love in the mailbox,’ the more her own fears dissolve in joy. The accompanying poems just downloaded with the paintings.
She lives in her flip flops on the beach in Florida and hopes you feel the whimsical, child-like joy that this free-spirit passionately paints for the glory of the Divine, her Poppie.
