West Texas painter and muralist Patrick Messersmith hails from Lubbock, Texas. His
work is featured across Abilene, the Big Country, the state of Texas, and beyond in
private collections and public murals. Outside of large-scale murals, Patrick primarily
works in acrylic and water-based media. He also accepts a limited number of
commissions each year for pencil drawings, digital art, and commercial signage. Ever
enchanted by the colors and patterns of his environment, Patrick’s work often marries
traditional themes with contemporary palettes and modern styles.
Patrick attended McMurry University in Abilene, where he received his BFA in Studio Art
in 2005. Since then, he has exhibited his work across the Big Country and Texas. His
art has been featured locally at The Center for Contemporary Art, Monks Coffee Shop,
and other local establishments. His first mural in Abilene, HAUNTED BY WATERS; (2016), is located downtown at North 2nd and Cedar Street. Other recent murals can be found
in the SoDA District, the Abilene Zoo, ACU, McMurry, and Allen Ridge.
