Born in Denver, Colorado in June of 1949, Patrick was raised by his mother and grandmother.  His childhood was rather traumatic, since his early attraction to art was not readily understood by his peers.  While other boys were playing football, Patrick learned how to sew, make quilts and pottery pieces, collect rocks, and pretend to be an Indian.  He began painting with oils at the age of six, and bronze sculpture at the age of fifteen, having become the youngest member of The Rocky Mountain Liturgical Arts Association.  Between 1967 and 1970 Patrick visited the University of Northern Colorado, and the Rocky Mountain School of Art, not graduating from any of these, since the commercial slant of these institutions is far from his personal definition of art.
