Patrick Rowan completed studies in Toronto at Central Tech's Special Art Course and at the Ontario College of Art.
His view of the world was shaped in his early working years at Art Gallery of Ontario, The Royal Ontario Museum, The McLaughlin Planetarium.
Teaching stints at Seneca College and Centennial College were followed by a full time stint at McLelland & Stewart book publishers, which evolved into a freelance career with numerous book publishers.
A transition into the world of advertising and marketing eventually brought him to the realization that he needed to know more about the world. A unique opportunity to migrate into film and television allowed him to fulfill this desire and contribute to some very successful television series.
Through it all he has kept his sketchbook by his side and successfully produced numerous projects with publishers and producers alike.
