Drawing Is My Superpower | Patrick Vale | TEDxThe Geneva School of Manhattan
Drawing is a superpower that connects us to the world around us, helping us notice and appreciate the beauty in everyday moments, from skylines to subway rides. It reminds us that creativity is accessible to everyone, requiring only time, practice, and passion. By pursuing what we love with dedication, we can fully immerse ourselves in the joy and richness of our creative journeys. Patrick Vale is an extraordinarily talented artist and illustrator. Originally from Bristol, UK, Patrick moved to New York City in 2015, and his work has made a lasting impression here. From murals to sketchbooks, Patrick Vale’s artistic mastery spans a wide range of mediums on both grand and personal scales. Patrick has worked with a variety of clients, including tech companies, car brands, singers, and athletes. Beyond his professional success, he’s also deeply passionate about teaching, having hosted youth workshops in the UK to inspire the next generation of artists.
