Patrick now uses linen and handmade organic methods interested in exploration and learning Patrick quotes: "I live on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in the beautiful rugged coast of County Donegal in the north west of Ireland. My studio has gone through a huge renovation during the past two years. It has a river running behind it which adds to the tranquility I like when I'm working. That and of course great music. When I lose myself to the point that the shapes, the strokes and the colors plus all the deliberate marks and splashes come from seemingly nothing... Until I stand back and a myriad of universes or tiny quark atoms, or meadows, or maybe something else come flooding back' Paintings are signed on the back and come with verification documents
