Patricia Cullen Raine, formerly Patricia Cullen Clark, has been a graphic designer/illustrator for over 25 years. Born in Lakewood, Ohio, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Miami University of Ohio. Early in her career, Patricia moved to the south Pacific, where she became a reporter/illustrator for The Pacific Daily News, a Gannett newspaper serving Guam and the Marianas Island chain. While there, she developed a caricaturist style depicting local and international politicos. After her stint at the paper, Patricia then joined an ad agency on the island and contributed her skills as a designer, illustrator, copywriter and jingle writer/performer for clients that included Hilton Hotels, Mobil Oil and various Japanese-owned hotels. Patricia then moved to the Washington, D.C. area and continued her work in full-time and free-lance capacities as an assistant art director and a designer/illustrator for major associations. Since 1986, she has worked exclusively as a free-lance illustrator. She produced political caricatures for the weekly "Washington Whispers" column in U.S. News and World Report for nearly 3 years and was syndicated by Editor's Press Service in New York to produce international political caricatures. She also became a regular contributor to The Washington Post - specifically the Book World section. Her literary caricatures grace the collections of Pat Conroy, the family of the late Robertson Davies, Garrison Keillor, and the family of the late Norman Cousins. Patricia's clients have included The Washington Post, Education Week, The International Economy, The U.S. Information Agency, AARP, BMG-New York, The San Diego Opera, The Atlanta Opera, US West (Qwest), Intelsat, The 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, UT, Seagrams and MCI. Patricia's work has been honored by the Society of Illustrators and by several national illustration, graphic design and print organizations. Original oil portraits commissioned for her International Economy covers are now in the collections of economist Rudi Dornbusch of MIT, New York Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Bill McDonough and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill.
