Patrick Padget
Patrick Padget (born 6th February 1951) is an artist, printmaker, writer, poet and founder of Creative Change, one of the UK's leading creative agencies.

Origins

Padget was born in England, in the bleak Fenland country near the city of Ely. When he was thirteen years old, some of his paintings were exhibited at Kettles Yard in Cambridge alongside works by Picasso, Miro and Henry Moore. He went on to study at Cambridge and Chelsea School of Art. His paintings and prints are widely collected all over the world.

Career - the Arts

Working with his wife Patricia in their studio by the River Thames in Chiswick, Padget has created a wide variety of paintings and prints. In 2009 they were commissioned by Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and supported by The National Gallery to create an exhibition of 33 new paintings called "Shakespeare's Treasure" which was on show at The Globe for fifteen months. It had over 350,000 visitors.

Padget is currently working on several art projects including "The Marlowe Conspiracy", a limited edition of etchings about the true story of the authorship of the works of William Shakespeare (being printed at the St Barnabas Press in Cambridge and a series of "homages" to 20th Century artists called "The New Old Masters" (these are being printed at Dark Matter Studios in Battersea. Both of these projects will be exhibited widely throughout the UK. In 2012 and 2013 two of Padget’s digital films were exhibited in the Victoria & Albert Museum’s globally acclaimed Digital Design Festival.

Padget is also writing and illustrating his first collection of stories called "The Prince of Time" and a new collection of poetry "Picture poems by K.G.Cat" (one of Padget's aliases).

Career - Creative Change

Since 1981 Padget has worked on creative projects for literally hundreds of clients all over the world. These include making films, building websites, creating brands, producing literature, putting on a musical, staging a circus and many pieces of live theatre, TV commercials, building a robot, direct marketing and advertising and always cultivating ideas that deliver a message powerfully.

Running his own business Padget has worked for Audi, The BBC, BT, Cancer Research UK, The Department of Health, Education Department, Ford, Great Ormond Street Hospitals, The Home Office, Independent Radio News, J.Sainsbury, Kimberly-Clark, London Transport, Marks & Spencer, National Grid, The Office of National Statistics, Powergen, Q8 Petroleum, The Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Texaco, United Dairies, Vodafone, Westminster City Council, Xerox, Youth TV and Z exhibitions.

Career - Corporate Social Responsibility

Throughout his working life Padget has developed a strong belief in using creative ideas and business relationships to help the disadvantaged and dispossessed in society. He persuaded BT to fund a project helping disadvantaged people in South London utilise the internet to changes their lives for the better. Legal & General funded a project working with college students educating them about practical issues such as money, cooking, healthy lifestyle and helping others. Compaq provided technology support for Padget's exhibitions to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Health Service and Marks & Spencer paid for a campaign to help communities develop pre-school playgroups.

In the last two years Padget has worked exclusively on projects, which can utilise his creative skills and business connections to help make the world a better place. Last year he worked with Professor Stephen Hawking to help save a tiny charity called Breathe On which provides support for the families of children who need long-term ventilation to survive.

He has also been heavily involved with two long-term projects that are both sponsored by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Padget is currently developing a brand new project to revolutionise the face of charity fundraising and how people perceive social and corporate social responsibility. He has financial backing pledged from one of the largest construction companies in the world.
