Patrice Gates is an Atlanta, Georgia-based artist who specializes in one-of-a-kind drawings and paintings that are inspired by women and black culture. A self-taught artist throughout grade school she later went to study art at the University of Louisville, Kentucky on a full-ride scholarship. It was during her final years of college that she discovered her love for painting. She graduated with a BA in Fine Arts and a minor in creative writing.
As an artist, Patrice strives to convey emotions and experiences through her chosen medium of oil, digital arts, acrylic, and mixed media. Patrice’s work often depicts women in simple moments (such as drinking coffee or putting on makeup) and by using vibrant colors to capture these moments and give them new life. She draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including nature, music, black culture, and the human experience. Through her art, she aims to create a sense of connection between the paintings and the viewer that gets them to see and appreciate the simplicity of the scenes.
