Patti Thomas
Patti Thomas began her career as an artist just over two years ago under the pseudonym “The Ghost.” She decided to use “The Ghost” so as not to let her renown as wife of Buffalo Bills hall of famer Thurmas Thomas influence people’s view of her work. Patti describes her work as a “fantastical commentary on real-life situations and characters, rooted in random, whimsical, social, and often comical events, thoughts, and situations.” She has since become a sought after contemporary artist both regionally and nationally and continues to be an influential member of our Western New York Community. Listen to how Patti came about this new career path and what it has meant to her.
