Patrick McPhee

Patrick Mcphee seamlessly blends his love for the outdoors and fishing with his passion for painting. Much of Patrick's childhood was spent exploring the natural world and camping with family. These experiences would go on to shape his artistic style and influence his work for the rest of his life. After studying at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Patrick became fascinated by the Hudson River School of painters, their reverence for nature and the way they captured light. With this inspiration, Patrick began to develop his own style, focusing on capturing the beauty of the natural world in a realistic manner. His works often feature scenes of mountains, rivers, lakes, and streams. Patrick is also an avid fisherman and often incorporates his love for fishing into his work. He might include fishermen on the water, or reeling in a catch, capturing the beauty and serenity of this timeless activity. Today, Patrick continues to paint, always striving to improve his craft and to share his love for art and nature with others. He is known for his meticulous attention to detail. He often returns areas to their former glory, removing buildings, parking lots, and powerlines. Each year He participates in plein air events around the country. He has received several awards for his efforts and his works can be found in private collections around the world.
