Monté Patterson works across painting, drawing, photography, and film — a practice built over two decades that runs in parallel with his work as founder of The Final Image and creator of ALLEY3™. His visual work has sold to private collectors, shown in gallery installations, and been compiled into a printed collection spanning 2016–2020. He holds an MFA in Film from Ohio University and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
