Artist Statement 
" The process for any of my works rather it be a painting, sculpture or even a puppet show…. is the same, “ in the moment”. Always like a little wave that’s born and breaks at its own will. The goal is to produce, inspire, promote and educate the creative spirit. " - P. Medrano
Much of Medrano's work feels methodically aged, but it doesn't belong to any particular historical era. His paintings sometimes feature hairless, nude humans and contain a mechanical element or a depiction of an apparatus that is merged with human elements. At times his sculptures resemble elaborate wooden frames that incorporate exaggerated puppets, mechanisms, electronic devices and lighting elements. The wood is usually darkly stained and coated with bright-colored paint, which Medrano scrapes and sands away, creating a kind of antique patina. Many works also include photographs taken by wife and collaborative partner, Katy Anderson. These photographs are featured as both backgrounds as well and prominate subjects. Their collaboration began in 2002 and both artists bring their own distinguishing styles, talents, and individual passions to the table when working on a piece and the end results is always moving. "Patrick Medrano's, 3D works, paintings, and interactive devices intrigue viewers into searching within, to face, a sometimes not so pleasant reality of the world around us, including ourselves. Katy Anderson's thought provoking photography captures memories, emotions, and purpose of being, leaving the viewer content and eager to drink in more. With harmony, perfect blending of conception and form, the two become one, contained within collaborations of true unison, completing a breath taking tour of the visual experience." - Max Boyd Harrison (owner of Gallery M2 . )
Most recently these two visual artists have combined their energy and talents to create The Fodice Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed at transforming a W.P.A. era school building into a world famous arts mecca that will be located 2 ½ hours Northeast of Houston.

about the collaboration
MEDRANO + ANDERSON
[ Patrick Medrano & Katy Anderson]
Houston based sculptor and painter Patrick Medrano and photographer Katy Anderson began their collaboration soon after they met in 2002. In the eight years they have spent together they have produced over 100 now sold pieces of collaborative work. Much of Medrano's work feels methodically aged, but it doesn't belong to any particular historical era. His paintings sometimes feature hairless, nude humans and contain a mechanical element or a depiction of an apparatus that is merged with human elements. At times his sculptures resemble elaborate wooden frames that incorporate exaggerated puppets, mechanisms, electronic devices and lighting elements. The wood is usually darkly stained and coated with bright-colored paint, which Medrano scrapes and sands away, creating a kind of antique patina. Anderson's black-and-white photographs often feature prominently as backgrounds as well as main subjects. Both artists bring their own distinguishing styles, talents, and individual passions to the table when working on a piece and the end results is always moving.
Katy Anderson was born in Houston (1979) and raised in Lovelady, Tx.
Patrick Medrano was born (1973) and raised in Victoria, Tx.
Most recently these two visual artists have combined their energy and talents to create The Fodice Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed at transforming a W.P.A. era school building into a famous arts mecca that will be located 2 ½ hours Northeast of Houston.
