Welcome! I’m Pat Patterson — photographer and storyteller.

I’m delighted to share my collection of art including photographic greeting cards, matching enlargements, and other work from my exhibits. First, a quick news bite:

NEW: Join us on April 16th, when I'll speak at the Joyce Gordon Gallery, 404-14th St. Oakland, CA

"The Original Newcomers"Artist's Talk • 6:30-8p

I'm one of 5 original exhibitors from our 1997 show, sharing our early experiences. JG Gallery is now showing AOTAD's 2026 Newcomers artwork.

Back to my intro:
Each art piece holds stories, gathered from my explorations, treks, travels, and spontaneous adventures with my camera. I’m always chasing what’s compelling: things like color, form, energy, mystery, vibe, the moment that makes you stop and feel something.

My photographs are more than collections, they’re meant to create an experience: a mood, a memory, a spark. No two shoots are ever alike — and someday, I just might write that book.

I have a special passion for the handwritten greeting card. Think back to the last time someone sent you a colorful 'hard copy' card with a warm message inside. That feeling matters and it’s worth sharing through these note cards.

My cards travel the world, and some customers admit they don’t even send them, they keep them as treasured mini art pieces — and even frame them.

So, whether you’re here to give a card, collect art, or simply enjoy beauty and inspiration, enjoy the ride.

Thank you for visiting,
Pat
