Then Patrick dropped another bombshell. She and her husband, Craig Patrick, a Dallas attorney with Bush, Craddock & Reneker, are buying the gallery for an undisclosed sum. The change of ownership will occur in January, but Patrick says the public, and the aforementioned artists and collectors, won't notice any difference. "The name isn't changing, and I hope all of the artists will remain with me," Patrick says. "Edith isn't retiring. Make that very clear," she says. "Edith and I will work together for as long as she wants to. She's an incredible mentor." Patrick, who's finishing her master's in art history at SMU in December, says the AMA gig was positive. "I was glad to have the museum experience," she says, but it didn't take her long to miss the gallery. "It's definitely my path."
