Original Art Work by Patrick Hay

About

I have been working as an artist and art educator in Delaware County (Delco) all my life. I cannot recall a time when I wasn't making something. To be a maker is to connect. Making is an activity that connects to one's past, to one's environment, to one's people. By some blessing or twist of fate, I have been afforded the opportunity to spend time making things, and perhaps more importantly, teaching others how to make things.

My work is a narrative tinged with nostalgia. All my pieces contain a reference to a moment or event; whether it be embarrassing, sad, sweet or triumphant I can guarantee that they are all true. Growing up in Delco you learn that hard work is the answer to just about everything. What I present to my viewer is simply my hard work. It has taken me decades to figure it out. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

About

I have been working as an artist and art educator in Delaware County (Delco) all my life. I cannot recall a time when I wasn't making something. To be a maker is to connect. Making is an activity that connects to one’s past, to one's environment, to one’s people. I have been afforded the opportunity to spend time making things, and perhaps more importantly, teaching others how to make things. This has the dual function of allowing me to travel inward, while at the same time creating something tangible as a record of that journey. It is an activity that I highly recommend.

The work I make is narrative tinged with personal nostalgia. All my pieces contain a reference to a moment or event. Those moments range from embarrassing to triumphant. The thread that connects all of them is that they are true, Growing up in Delco you learn that hard work is the answer to just about everything. What I present to my viewer is simply my hard work. It has taken me decades to figure it out. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
