| Biography Patrick was born and raised in Southern California in the beach community of Torrance. There he attended kindergarten through high school. His college years were spent at Loyola Marymount University in West Los Angeles. There he majored in Fine Art and Graphic Design, while also playing for the Men’s Division I Soccer team. It was in these years that he started to grow a passion for art. He has always had good hand-eye coordination with pen and paper, but had never really expanded his visual thinking. With the study of past artists and help from his teachers, Patrick became more creative in his process. Painting and drawing took a back seat out of college as Patrick tried his hand in the design world to try to make a living. After working one year as an Art Director at a boutique advertising agency in Santa Monica, Patrick and a couple of his close friends packed up and headed to the Caribbean for a year. In St. Thomas he spent most of his days relaxing in the sun, surfing, fishing, hiking, snorkeling, and, oh yeah, working a little bit on the beach at The Ritz-Carlton or pulling up the sails on a 65-foot catamaran. Upon returning home via sailing up the East Coast to New Jersey from St. Thomas, Patrick decided to move in with a college buddy in the small South Orange County beach community of San Clemente. Here is where his passion for art begun to regain speed at a pace that has yet to let up. He spends most of his days painting surf ideas that come to his mind or bringing to canvas an idea that someone else had envisioned. On the side he still dabbles in the freelance design world where he creates everything from CD covers to wine labels to magazine and advertising layouts.
