I grew up an artist and painted portraits for many families in Austin. Antique furniture became a fascination, when my husband, Bill, and I would travel. My love for history made the antiques so relevant, especially French antiques. While traveling Europe we would find distinctive and authentic pieces of antique furniture, such as a French antique tables of mahogany or painted Italian antique chairs, and would ship them back to our home in Austin. Antique furniture and the decorative arts soon became my constant pursuit and I loved it. I have an eye for artistic and authentic antiques. It defines my collection. The Austin antique furniture venue has been the perfect place for this new lighter look in antiques.
Pat Price Monroe is married and has two sons with her husband William. Pat has enjoyed a high tech marketing career, as well as being a "School Mom" and charity volunteer. As the boys began graduating from high school, she began her next career in antiques. Pat is a native of Austin and her undergraduate (Studio art & Art History) and MBA from University of Texas at Austin |
