Deeply interested in the relationship of the human form to natural and made-made structures, Pat Savage draws inspiration from life around her for batik portraits and compositions and from biblical sources and the performing arts for many of her etchings.

Pat works mainly in batik and as a printmaker. The batiks are framed pictures or church furnishings: altar frontals, pulpit falls or lectern markers, created on white cotton cloth using Procion M cold water dyes and dipped for each colour in a dye bath. Printmaking has developed from lino-cutting to the exploration of the techniques of etching and aquatint. She is a member of the Seal Chart Etching Studio and is on the S E Arts register of Artists and Craftsmen and the Art in Churches index for the Council for the Care of Churches.

She studied at Goldsmiths College School of Art and at the Royal College of Art where she trained as a woodcarver.
