About Patrizia
Patrizia Montanari was born and raised in Milan, Italy. Growing up she was surrounded by the love of a large extended family - uncles, aunties and cousins whose lives all entwined daily.
She has many blissful memories of long, hot Summers altogether in the south of Italy surrounded by art and beautiful food.
In 2002 she began traveling and experiencing a world outside of Italy, living and working in a number of cities including New York, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas until early 2017 when she made Portland, Oregon her home.
Patrizia has experienced and created art all of her life. In the last 12 years her love for portrait and figure painting naturally evolved into a love for photography.
Taking photographs quickly became an obsession and a new way to express her creative side. Portraits are her passion and people are her biggest inspiration.
Patrizia’s Photography business quickly grew a strong client base through word of mouth, working on a wide range of projects - from portrait to fashion, product and food photography to name a few.
In 2018, her entrepreneurial spirit, love of fashion, design and photography all came together when she launched her very own clothing line - Patrizia Montanari. A gender and size free collection that embraces modern, and simple silhouette with a minimalist approach. An inclusive range for all body shapes and personalities.
A visual storyteller, she hasn’t abandoned her passion for travel, and continues to showcase her adventures on Instagram, mostly with the help of her family and her perfect travel companions - her Fujifilm X100T, her Nikon Z6 and of course her iPhone!
