Patrick Okrasinski was born in New York City in 1996. Even as a young boy, he was consumed by drawing. The time he spent with his grandparents in the idyllic Polish countryside helped fuel his love of the natural world.

In the Fall of 2016 he found his way to the US branch of the Florence Academy of Art in Jersey City. There he was able to study at the highest levels of figurative painting, under the tutelage of Jordan Sokol, Amaya Gurpide, Stephen Bauman, Cornelia Hernes, and Edmond Rochat. As a student he won numerous prizes, including the ARC Scholarship Competition.

After graduating, he spent three months as Artist in Residence with the Claude Monet Foundation in Giverny, painting in Monet’s garden and the surrounding French countryside.

In 2020 he was awarded the prestigious Donald Jurney Travelling Fellowship Grant for the purpose of travelling and painting the great historic and cultural centers of Europe. In light of the pandemic, this adventure was postponed, and he instead turned to painting the local landscape of the North East, and winning multiple awards in National Juried Shows.

In 2021, he was awarded the Hudson River Fellowship at Wethersfield, a collaborative fellowship that brings together classically trained artists to study and paint nature for three weeks. Later that summer, he painted and traveled Europe, thanks to the Donald Jurney Travelling Fellowship.
