Pat (Patricia) Matranga
Artist • Designer • Maker
For more than 34 years, Pat Matranga has designed and created one-of-a-kind speaker gifts, sculptural awards, corporate gifts, university ceremonial maces, and commemorative works for a wide range of events designed to make the recipients feel genuinely appreciated.
Working from her studio in Lebanon, Tennessee, Pat collaborates with universities, corporations, organizations, and individuals to create meaningful, personalized pieces that celebrate achievement, express appreciation, and commemorate important milestones.
Her work has included creating the annual Champions for Global Change Awards presented by the United Nations, as well as commissions for universities, corporations, and prominent organizations.
Pat‘s work has been featured on HGTV, regional television programs, Southern Living, and American Woodturner, the journal of the American Association of Woodturners. Her work has also been exhibited in a solo exhibition at The Parthenon in Nashville.
As an educator, Pat has been a featured demonstrator at national and regional woodturning symposia and clubs throughout the country. She has taught and mentored hundreds of woodturners over the course of her career, sharing techniques, encouraging creativity, and helping others develop their own artistic voice.
“My goal with every commission is simple: to design and create something meaningful that reflects the significance of the occasion and, most importantly, makes the person receiving it happy to receive it.”
