"My work is about landscape and nature and how man shapes and interacts with it. I like to get out to a location to observe the ever-changing light. But not just the big vista of mountains, sea and sky, also the small world of rocks, sheughs, streams and fauna."

Pat lives and works in Derry City. He was educated at the Belfast College of Art and The University Of Ulster before going into teaching and becoming Head Of Art at St Peter's High School In Derry.
