Born in 1953, entered college in 1971. Math major who lacked maturity and
discipline to be in school. In 1977 he met his wife, Debora. After the
birth of their first child, returned to school as an Art major. Expecting
their second, he returned to the workforce in 1980. A planned 4 month
absense became almost 4 years. When his father died, he returned to finish
his last semester with a bachelor's degree. Encouraged to pursue the BFA
degree, he had to redo 4+ years of work for faculty portfolio review to
pursue the BFA. He was busy and encouraged to continue into grad school.
He took the GRE and did well, (with a perfect Math score). He remained at
the University of Iowa even though other schools offered graduate
benefits. While still a grad student, he applied at SHSU, was hired,
completed the MFA at the U of I and the father of 3 moved his family to
Texas. After 8 years at Sam and 2 more children, they became parents for
the 6th time. Three months later Debora was given 6 months to live, 8+
years later the cancer, parts of her colon, and half her liver on 2
occasions are gone. Trusting God, they've survived this. Pat's work has
almost always been self portrait in nature and has been computer based and
charcoal drawn.
