Former model turns passion for art  

into business in Cape May 

by Brian Ianieri, Press of AC 


Patricia Rainey has merged her abilities as an artist with her decades of experience as a businesswoman.  

 

Artist, Patricia Rainey of Cape MayRainey, who lives in the North Cape May section of the township near Delaware Bay, did not become an artist until later in life. She had been a model and spent 33 years running her own modeling agency in North Jersey while raising five children.

Then she became a self-taught artist, opened an art studio after passing the modeling agency to her daughter, and made a business of her artwork.  "I really think of myself as a businessperson first," she said.   

 

There are certain similarities between owning a modeling agency, where models worked for major department stores such as Bloomingdale's, and an art studio of her work, including prints of Cape May scenes such as the iconic lighthouse at Cape May Point and quaint Victorian homes.

 

"It's a service business. It's pretty much the same, providing people what they want," Rainey said.
