Pat Fallon, is Professor & Chairperson, The Art Department & Professor, Ursuine Studies Core Program, Ursuline College, Cleveland, Ohio. Pat has offered to lead the November 2008 Midtown Brews conversation focusing on art and advocacy.


I recently asked Pat about her views on her work and how her passions connect to her students, colleagues and the public. Here are her responses:

  1. What are you most passionate about now?  Teaching and exploring possibilities in my printmaking  as well as painting to further my career as an artist but also to share with students my findings, concerns, advocacies, and studio results in a teaching/learning situation.
  2. What should people know, think, feel, and do?  People should know what is going on in the world and in their communities.  I don't tell people how to feel or think, though I do believe if more people "centered themselves" in a quiet time, they would think and feel better.  What people do, though their own business, is exactly what I am about.  I would like all people to respond positively to those in need, without judgment or blame.
  3. What do you see for the future?  A better world.  I am a born optimist.
