Patrick Mack

I am originally from Indianapolis, but our family moved to South Bend during my grade school years, and later graduated from Clay High in 1982. I worked as a staff photographer for the South Bend Tribune right out of high school, and then later attended the Portfolio Center of Atlanta Georgia. After art school I worked in the commercial photography field for 6 years, then went back to school in 1988 and graduated from Indiana University, Bloomington, in 1992.

I started my sculpture business in Indianapolis 19 years ago. I am a full time artist and a single dad with a 7-year-old rambunctious boy. I enjoy creating site-specific one-of-a-kind sculptures for my clients. I work in all metals, wood, stone, fiber-resin, and specialize in bronze through the lost wax technique.

My sculptures are motivated by my own life experiences and sometimes shared world events. I strive to capture that moment that has the breath of life and tension in it. Through the figurative form I seek to convey grace, passion, and simplistic beauty. More importantly, I am interested in capturing and expressing emotion through the abstract form.
