2024 Fellows

Patrick Neilson

Hometown: New York

I am currently enrolled in the core program at Grand Central Atelier. Prior to attending GCA, I was painting, showing and teaching in the Philadelphia area. I have an MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and a bachelor’s degree from East Carolina University.

At the Hudson River Fellowship, the opportunity to work alongside landscape artists benefited my painting immensely. Working every day in the field strengthened my observation and compositional thinking. Upon returning to the studio, I have relied on studies and memory to paint larger works.
