Local artist follows his passion to teach and still create his own work

It all started when Justin Patten made a sports painting for his brother. He wanted it to be something wife would let him hang up in their house! We’re guessing she approved because ever since then, Justin has been a very busy guy!

Storm Striker has been a way to give sports fans and graduates a way to represent their loyalty and passion while not sacrificing great taste. My work seeks to be as energetic as the last moments of the game. My style really comes out of my instincts on how something should look. When I paint, I try to push my boundaries and stop only when I have reached the edge of my abstraction.

I hope you love my work, as I create for you and your passion. When I paint for you, I think of you sitting on your couch, pumping your fist as the clock counts down.
