Biography

Professional artist, John Patchett IEA is regarded as one of the country’s leading exponents in the art of pastel painting. He has held over 45 successful solo shows in Australia and England and his work has been exhibited in Japan, New Zealand, with the ‘Pastel Society’, ‘The Royal Society of Marine Artists’ and as a prizewinner at the ‘Laing Exhibition’, at the Mall Galleries, in London.
Over the years, John Patchett’s pastel paintings have become a regular feature in articles he writes for the ‘Leisure Painter’ and 'The Artist' magazines.
He believes it is necessary to paint as much as possible on location, which has resulted in his work having immediacy and a strong sense of light and warmth.
John feels that the hand can never achieve anything higher than the heart can command, therefore he chooses inspirational locations, where he can be enthusiastic about his subject and situation.
