Art by Nick Patrone

Watercolor and Copperplate Calligraphy

I started painting blown eggs at age 17 as a way to give gifts to people I cared for. I moved to acrylics and then interrupted my art time to become a Medical Doctor. Scattered episodes of creativity led to more intricate painted eggs until I  got side tracked with Music leading to a degree in Composition from ECU.

Several years later I decided to take up calligraphy and finally watercolor ( under the guidance of Jan Sullivan-Volz).

 In 2019 I decided to retire from the practice of Medicine but returned part time to help with the Covid-19 Pandemic. I continue to paint regularly with a studio at the Bel Air Art Center in Rocky Mount NC.
