Why We Need Art – A Presentation at Shine Nov. 19th, 2014
Oct 27th
“Why We Need Art” is a presentation by artist Patrick Williams focusing on our collective relationship with Creativity. Each of us has a deep and original connection with Creativity. Often this authentic and imaginal bond has been “misplaced”. We are trained to think of Creativity as frivolous, a waste of time, and unessential. Through mishap and or aggression, which could have been an offhand comment or deliberate humiliation, we begin to mislay or seemingly lose our Creativity. Tossing it into a box in a closet in the basement of our inner psyche.
No matter how buried or forgotten we all have the embers of Creativity within us. This presentation is for everyone who desires and dares to access, maintain, and sustain their Creativity and will point people in the right direction toward rekindling our Creative embers and turning them into Creative flames.

Denver art premiere for Stone and Williams, of Boulder,
Jun 5th
Artist Wood Worker Kerry Stoen and Visual Artist Patrick Williams will come together for a stunning night of Art, Friday, June 7 at CS Woods in Denver. This is a not to be missed, one night only show premiering the exquisite and visionary wood working of Kerry Stoen and the sensual, radically creative work of Patrick Williams.
Natural wood art
The pair met at a martial arts dojo a few years back which sparked an immediate creative kinship between the two, thus conceiving of a collaborative exhibition in a space outside of the box of the mainstream gallery scene. The show will premier a new collection of Stoen’s tables; supremely crafted, organically whimsical, imagistically daring pieces built by the hands of a master wood worker who has been making high end functional objects and installations for over 40 years.
radically creative art
Williams, an internationally collected artist whose work ranges from simple Japanese influenced Sumi paintings to technically brilliant, emotionally layered large scale figurative drawings,(and everything in between) has gathered together a sampling of his 38 years of art making. Williams’ large scale drawings and paintings will be installed on stacks of lumber in the warehouse.
He has always delighted in showing his work in unconventional spaces; raw, organic environments where “art and people can breathe together, movement and conversation less inhibited.”
