My name is Patrick, I am a drawing mole. Originally from Rochester in Kent, 30 miles south east of London, after much wandering  I now live in the Suffolk village of Ixworth, with my beautiful wife, and two handsome spaniels. I have always drawn, having a working background in engineering design and technical illustration.
 All drawings are based on my own sketches and references, if I've drawn it I have been there. 
The art of American realist Edward Hopper is a major influence, as are the films of Alfred Hitchcock and Film Noir.
I have exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Mall Galleries and the Turner Contmporary. Awards include the 'President's Award; at the UK Coloured Pencil Society Open Exhibition, and 'Best In Show' (Colour) at the Society of Graphic Fine Art Open Exhibition.  I was featured in the February 2020 issue of Artists and Illustrators, and appeared on Sky Landscape Artist Of The Year (Season 7).
