| About Patricia H. Groves | |
|
In addition to her work in K–12 art education, Pat was deeply committed to the preparation of future art educators. She served as an adjunct professor and student teaching supervisor in art education programs—one year at Rochester Institute of Technology and nine years at Nazareth College, where she also earned her Master’s degree. At Nazareth, she especially enjoyed teaching graduate electives in Visual Bookmaking and Watercolor Painting. Pat was a mentor, advocate, and trusted guide to countless art teachers, students, and community organizations. She was known for her accessibility, generosity of spirit, and unwavering willingness to support others. Pat held a particular passion for art education students, recognizing their vital role in carrying forward NYSATA’s mission. In recognition of her outstanding leadership and service, she received the Marion Quin Dix Leadership Award from the National Art Education Association (NAEA) in 2016, following nomination by NYSATA educators and leaders. Above all, Pat was cherished for her kindness, humility, sense of humor, and genuine care for others. She was a joy to work with and a true friend to many. The face of NYSATA is forever changed by Patricia Groves, a passionate leader in arts education, and a treasured friend to so many. So many innovations and changes in our practice have occurred either directly under or as a byproduct of her leadership, and her influence will most assuredly extend far into the future of our state association. Beyond her numerous direct contributions, Pat’s enduring legacy dwells in the enthusiasm and commitment of the many enthusiastic art educators she has drawn into NYSATA and the field of art education; young teachers who will further her vision of excellence and advocacy in our art education community and carry on her commitment to innovation and opportunity for all. |
