Patrick Milbourn began his arts career as an illustrator. His work appeared in Sports Illustrated, Time magazine, the New Yorker, GQ, Entertainment Weekly, Business Week, Forbes and others. His paintings have appeared on the covers of more than forty books published by Random House, Putnam, Ballantine and Doubleday. Milbourn's foundation in illustration and his ability to capture comprehensive caricatures segued into portrait painting. It was a natural transition since much of his editorial work required reality of face and figure. Weekend trips to Catskill rekindled a special interest in landscape painting and offered him freedom of self-expression.

Patrick has received a variety of awards and accolades from the Pastel Society of America, the National Academy of Art, the Salmagundi Club and the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Letters. His paintings have been presented in traveling exhibitions in Japan and Europe. He has been highlighted in "The Best of Watercolors," "The Best of Portrait Painting," "The Best or Pastel Painting," and "Watercolor Expressions." His works by commission are in private collections in Europe, Asia and North America.

Patrick's work can be found at M Gallery, located at 350 Main Street, Catskill or call 943-0380 or visit www.mgallery-online.com.
