Patrick Turner
1953-2008
Mixed Media Artist & Musician
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
It is with great sadness that this year’s Powderhorn Art Fair will not have the bright presence and consciousness raising art of Patrick Turner.
Patrick exhibited his work and won awards for many years at the Powderhorn Art Fair. He will be greatly missed, along with his creativity, wry jokes and open personality. To see a wonderful video tribute to him visit the website of The Art Guild in Milwaukee www.theeartguild.com

I met Patrick several years ago at the Fort Worth Art Show. We spoke for hours about art, guitar, magic, etc. He was the real deal. I bought a piece that day and three additional pieces then. They are priceless to me.
Would be glad to share photos of the pieces I have.
I met Patrick at the Art Fair on the Square in Madison, WI in 2002. I had just finished my Senior year at UW-Madison and remember my conversation with him so vividely. He was so excited for my future.
That day I purchased “Magnificent Madness” (shown above as “Straight Jacket”).
I have kept that piece very close to my heart during the last 8 years. Through the up’s and down’s, I could turn to the collage and it would always have something very profound and comforting to say.
Although I only met Patrick once, I feel honored to have been in his presence and blessed to know that through “Magnificent Madness” he will continue speaking to me for the rest of my life.
I had no idea that he had passed and I am so sad. He was a great man with a big heart and honest soul. My home is filled with his art and I am so grateful to have known a genuine Renaissance Man and to be able to appreciate his talent every day. So sad.
