Collection: Patrick Guildford - Originals & Fine Art Prints

Patrick Guildford
Patrick Guildford’s artistic journey began with an unexpected discovery—an old school report from when he was just nine years old. A note from his teacher read, “Patrick is a gifted artist.” His father, a school headmaster, had also recognised this early talent, proudly recalling Patrick’s first prize for a nature study book at the South Wairarapa Show. Though his formal art education ended there, rediscovering this memory rekindled his passion for painting.

Patrick draws deep inspiration from the rich histories of Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. His work captures the intricate details of people, landscapes, and the stories that shape us, celebrating everyday beauty with a contemporary, often quirky edge.

With a vivid palette and a storyteller’s heart, Patrick transforms walls and canvases into bold expressions of memory, culture, and character—each brushstroke a tribute to the enduring power of art.
