Who is Cranky Patti?

Cranky Patti is an alter-ego who tells the unvarnished truth as she sees it.

Born on Facebook, Cranky Patti appears when the real Patti is cranky about something,

and if you ask her a question, be prepared for a straight answer that might challenge you.

Zen Patti, Parenting Patti, and Non-Problem-Solving Patti also appear at times.

For Example:

Question: How can I organize my “studio” so I will take my art seriously?

Cranky Patti: For starters, stop putting the word studio in quotation marks.

Cranky Patti doesn’t have all day – ask it already!
Your question (and my answer) might be featured in a future blog post!
