Patrick is primarily self-taught. His work has developed over the past 20 years, starting with more representative work, and gradually becoming more and more abstract. This was not a conscious decision, it just happened. 
 
Patrick explains, "I rarely start a painting with any preconceived notion of where it will end up. I may have a specific color or shape in mind, but there’s very little forethought on what the final painting will look like. Instead, I begin painting and let the emerging composition direct me.  I continue to work it until it develops into a balanced, dramatic, and (hopefully) aesthetically pleasing form.  At that point, I know it’s done.  If it never gets to that point (and many don’t), I re-prime the canvas and start over.  This exhibit is a collection of work I’ve completed over the past year or two.  I appreciate you taking the time to look and I hope you like it."
