Patricia Hermine Sloane

Patricia Hermine Sloane (November 21, 1934 – November 21, 2001) was an American painter, author, and professor of fine arts at NYC Technical College of the City University of New York.

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.
