Patta is passionate about the creative processes she uses.  She is fascinated by the explosions of color created by mixing a very limited number of dyes. This creates a fusion of contemporary design concepts as well as layers of colors within the pieces.  She also enjoys recreating images of her Native American heritage and combining them with contemporary concepts. Some of that subject matter includes what she calls Oklahoma images: scissortails, cattails, native flowers, buffalos, horses, etc.  By transferring the medium of hand painted silk to a larger format, she is able to create comfortable, wearable garments and accessories that can be draped on the human frame as well as displayed as decorative wall art.
