Patrick specialises in sculptures made from carved stone and cast metals. He works on large scale sculpture for the public domain and makes smaller, individual sculptures to exhibit. His work can be either figurative or abstract.

Patrick’s public art can be seen nationally, commissioned by organisations such as the Woodland Trust and companies such as Crest Nicholson and Stonewater. Specialising in site specific art, each project is built on an understanding of a landscape and  the relationship between sculpture and location.

In 2023 he was awarded the George Blunden Prize for public art and is currently working on a series of five public art projects with the housing developer Stonewater. Patrick has participated in international sculptures symposiums; he has attended and taught at stone carving events and has exhibited his work in both group and solo shows.

Patrick teaches stone carving at workshops, both at his studio and around the country.

“I am very fortunate in my practice to have the opportunity to make site specific public art and to also have the artistic freedom to explore ideas within my own personal work. Sometimes the boundaries between these aspects of my practice overlap which is particularly rewarding.

I enjoy working on large scale public art commissions and responding to a brief. This method of working encourages me to find new creative solutions and to expand my practice. It has led to me working both figuratively and abstractly which to me is the best of both worlds. The public art commissions often inform the smaller more personal sculptures that I exhibit, and vice versa.”
