About Pat Southern-Pearce

Embarking on a transformative artistic journey during 5 vibrant years at a UK Art School, Pat Southern-Pearce honed skills as an oil painter, guided by a dynamic tutor straight from the Welsh valleys.

Picture this: weekly sketching escapades in all weather, snowfall included, with easels, oils, and gouache, creating an energy-filled atmosphere.

Like a USK Sketch Meet showdown today, every Friday brought exhilarating critiques, embedding the essence of sketching deep within.

Pat’s sketches aren’t mere marks; they’re emotional responses to a place’s vibe—the cold, the heat, the quiet, the joy of a bustling beach, and the brilliance of day’s end. Drawing intuitively, colours dance across the page, guided by the question, “Where else can it go?”

Eight years ago, a revolution unfolded—grey Strathmore and Seawhite Kraft sketchbooks unveiled new dimensions of fun and potential.

Now, fueled by experimentation with diverse colours, papers, pre-prepared backgrounds, and even digital mediums, Pat’s artistic odyssey continues, captivating and endlessly fascinating.
