Patrick Nevins


Born and raised in Townsend, Massachusetts, Patrick has been drawing and sketching as far back as he can remember.  Although always interested in art, it wasn't until after service in the Marine Corps that he enrolled at the College of Charleston in Charleston, SC  with a focus on studio art and painting.

Initially drawn to the beauty of the female form, Patrick has been refining his art and playing with different subject matter but always striving for realism.  In recent years, he has found a real interest in still life and the genre of Trompe' l'oeil.

Member of the International Guild of Realism
