Patricia (Pat) Reaganis a fiber artist, professor of art and the chairperson of the Department of Art at Southeast Missouri State University.  She has been a professional fiber artist for 25 years.  Her work includes five major bodies of work that have culminated in one-person exhibitions as well as participation in invitational and juried group exhibitions.  Ms. Reagan has taught art on the university level for 20 years, specializing in the fiber area but also teaching drawing, design, 3-D design and art appreciation.  She leads art course trips to major art centers within the U.S.A. and has taught two, three-week courses abroad in London and Paris.  In the past, Ms. Reagan has held positions at Southern Illinois University, Belleville College in Illinois and Craft Alliance in St. Louis. 

Ms. Reagan has held positions as the coordinator of adult programs at the Saint Louis Art Museum for two years and she was museum director of the University Museum at Southeast for six years.  Ms. Reagan served two years on the Visual Arts Panel of the Missouri Arts Council and was president of the Missouri Museum Association as well as a council member for the National Board of College and University Museums.    

Ms. Reagan’s artistic expertise lies in weaving hand-painted warp, double cloth that emphasizes patterns from color, words, weave structure and material texture.  She also hand paints and manipulates silk fabrics to produce surface design pieces.  She often uses the Japanese derived Shibori resist and acid burnout on some of her work.  Her imagery is for the most part non-objective with subtly overlaid poetry that she writes, with shapes and colors meant to evoke meaning and feeling.
