Pat Marino, b.1986 in Plainfield, New Jersey, USA, has led a career shaped by experiences of international social and cultural exploration.

 

Marino's academic experience in Florence, Italy in 2008 immersed him in its rich artistic heritage, vibrant culture and politics, influencing his voice and engendering a lifelong wanderlust that has carried his artistic practice.

 

In 2016, Marino relocated to Ningbo, Zhejiang, China, embracing the complexities of Chinese culture.

 

The Covid-19 pandemic, however, displaced him from his home in China, leading to a return to the United States, where he currently resides in the Finger Lakes region of New York.

 

He has exhibited in the USA, Canada, Indonesia, Thailand, and China. His work can be found in collections, both private and public, in sites globally, such as Beijing, Ningbo, Hangzhou, and Shanghai, China; Bali, Indonesia; Los Angeles, Phoenix, Jersey City, and New York, USA; and Seoul, South Korea.
