PATRICK CARROLL, Contemporary Realist Artist

Born 1949, Bathurst

Apart from staging over 40 solo exhibitions and numerous group shows Patrick has also received in excess of 100 awards and commendations for his paintings, many of which have been short listed for some of the most prestigious Art Awards in Australia.

These include:

• Wynne Prize, Art Gallery of New South Wales
