Description: Exploring the pathos and promise of the human experience, New Mexico artist Patrick Mehaffy creates sculptures, drawings, and, more recently, paintings that harken back to the timelessness of cultures past while affirming human relevance in a precarious world.
Brief description: Patrick Mehaffy was born in Beaumont, Texas. His art is informed by the geography and people of his youth in southeast Texas, his formal studies in anthropology, and his deep and profound love of the mountains and canyonlands of the American West. Mehaffy has also written and directed three award-winning short films.
