Neil Patterson's dream to become an oil painter was born in an elementary school, where his fascination for a reproduction of a painting by the Group of Seven forerunner, Tom Thomson, sparked his desire to paint. Neil began his formal training as an artist at the University of Calgary and the Scottsdale Artists’ School.

In 1992, Neil's work was featured in the Premier National Juried Exhibition of Traditional Oils, Oil Painters of America (OPA) at Prince Galleries, Chicago. In 1995, Neil was the first Canadian to become a signature member in the OPA. In March 2000 he was awarded the status of Master Signature Member, becoming the 34th painter in this elite group. Neil is Vice-President of the OPA. He has juried both regional and national shows for the OPA and has served as OPA juror of awards in Springville, Utah.

In 1993, Neil was elected to the prestigious group of intellectuals and artists known as the Salmagundi Club of New York (1871). He has numerous awards to his credit, and has been published in many books, newspapers and monthly periodicals. He most recently appeared in Art of the West Magazine, May/June 2006 and The Artist Magazine, December, 2006. Neil's work has been exhibited in galleries across North America, in seven provinces and seventeen states.

His professional affiliations include, Salmagundi Club New York, NY; Oil Painters of America (OPA) Master Signature; Alberta Society of Artists (ASA) Signature; Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) Signature; Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters (RMPAP) Signature; Tucson Plein Air Painters; Laguna Plein Air Painters.
