Every single member of my Artistry and Pat McGrath Labs Brand Teams - making this dream a reality would not be possible without them.

My house is full of paintings by my mother Pam. She was a fantastic, prolific artist but had no confidence in herself, thanks to my father running her down.

You have all the reason in the world to achieve your grandest dreams. Imagination plus innovation equals realization.
