Patricia Mayleen Wong is originally from Trinidad and emigrated to the United States to pursue her studies in the 1970s. In order to pay for her art classes, she worked days at NBC and went to school at night, pursuing her real passion. She consequently has lived in New York, New Jersey and California. 

Wong studied ceramics at Greenwich House in New York City, Westchester Community College and Clayworks in Brooklyn, New York. A move to California prompted her to pursue her interest in art fulltime in 1998. Living in San Francisco, Wong began to take drawing and sculpture classes at a studio in Walnut Creek, CA. She found that her work in California was influenced by her studies in New York. She began to find her voice as an artist and found this time liberating and fruitful with discovery of her medium.
 

Upon moving back to the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area, Wong’s art took a backseat to the birth of her son, and the start of her family. Now that her son has reached the age of seven, she is making her proud return to the arena of art in this, her debut fine art gallery exhibition.
