🖌️ Pat Irish is a respected California watercolorist known for her Mendocino coastal scenes, and she reportedly owned the iconic “Murder, She Wrote” house during her artistic career. Her prints—often depicting cottages, gardens, and seaside towns—carry a nostalgic charm rooted in Northern California’s quiet beauty. She wintered in Puerto Vallarta (where she became a snow bird friend of ours) where she continued her painting and we purchased a number of her prints. She currently lives in Sebastopol California.
Prints are all custom framed, masterpiece glass protection (no glare, no fade), 2" matting and are sized approximately 20 by 16" (or 16 x 20") except for foreground stairs - 12 x 16"
