Ebb Pate- Artist

Ebb Pate came to First Colony Art Bazaars thru his daughter -Amy Day- who lives in the neighborhood. Is it ironic that Ebb lives between Williamsburg & Seattle- the city whose abundance of Art, Music & Cultural Events & festivals inspire me to organize events in Williamsburg! I think not! :-) Can't wait to share him with all!

The Following is his Bio from THE GALLERY ON MERCHANTS SQUARE:

Ebb has two degrees in Design and has been an artist all his adult life. In the early 70s he developed a large mail order company named 'Merri Makers'. The company marketed his portfolios of prints and other creations, worldwide through a variety of major magazines such as 'House and Garden', 'House Beautiful' and 'Southern Living', to name a few.

During the original heyday of Lily Pulitzer, Ebb developed and produced numerous products sold in her 27 stores nationwide, including the "Lily Pulitzer Coloring Book".
Ebb's drawings, paintings and original paper mache sculptures are in the collections of a host of famous people, from Sir Cecil Beaton to John Wayne. Thousands of others own his original works.
Two large Pate WaterColors now hang in the Capital offices in Tallahassee, Florida, and many of his drawings have been published in Georgia Magazine and 'Gulfshore Life' based in Naples, Florida.
Truly bi-coastal, Ebb lives in both Virginia, where he paints scenes of Colonial Williamsburg, and Washington State, where he practices Architectural Design.
