Patricia Hermine Sloane (November 21, 1934 – November 21, 2001)[1] was an American painter, author, and professor of fine arts at NYC Technical College of the City University of New York. She was best known for her abstract expressionism painting style, which can be interpreted as early street or urban art, with a close connection to the New York school movement. She was a member of the 10th Street Galleries (specifically the Camino Gallery) in New York City during the 1950s and 1960s. Sloane's books included topics on fine arts, art history, principles of color, and the works of T. S. Eliot. She was married to Kenneth Campbell, a sculptor and artist.
She was a frequent contributor to the Village Voice with critical writings as well as drawings. In 1956 she was an instructor at Ohio University. She also taught at the Jewish Community Center in Providence, RI, the Scarsdale Community Workshop, 1965, URI, Community College of New York, Trenton Jr. College, and she spent the latter part of her teaching career as a full professor at the City University of New York. In addition, she was a gallery lecturer at the Whitney Museum, and was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1974.
