Pat Musick

Pat Musick has been making art since she was four years old. Today, her work, both sculptural and works on paper, is in the permanent collection of more than 50 museums and sculpture parks nationwide.

Through her work as both a painter and a sculptor, Pat seeks reconciliation between the forces that mankind exerts upon nature and the opposing forces that nature wields on our earth. Her art offers a message of harmony, balance, and peace.

Her most recent installation (shown), The Place Where They Cried, was created in partnership with her husband Jerry Carr, a former NASA astronaut and now Pat’s chief engineer and business manager. The work is a tribute to the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee Creek and Seminole people who traveled through Arkansas as part of the Trail of Tears forced migration in 1837-39. It consists of a 65- foot-long formation of native stone monoliths. The form moves in a linear formation through the forest, down a stream bank, across the water and up the other side of the creek.
