Patricia van Essche

PvE Design began way back when, long before the internet was a place to share. Then In 2006, the first web site was created for PvE aka Patricia van Essche to showcase her artistry. The site was created by a former Rivertown resident. Patricia began to present happy painted murals, charming illustrations and print designs for fashion houses. Patricia previously spent 15 years designing for many Fashion Designers, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Liz Claiborne. She then realized that her art focus was on her family and the playful watercolor design and whimsical illustrations she created. Many PvE devotees and Instagram followers have provided a great opportunity to create for a near and far reaching clientele. She is also a certified Pilates instructor and believes that life is to “live well, live fit and live artfully. Patricia is a longtime resident of Ardsley since 1996, and a staunch supporter of the arts and pilates community. “PvE believes that art and movement can help change people’s lives and make them smile a bit more.” She is proud to be part of the RiverArts community.

Lindsay’s work is quasi logical, inspired by human gesture, attitude and movement. It is influenced by the seasons and the atmosphere of the day. “It is optimistic! And, embraces the absurd.
