Patrick Di Rito is an artist and designer in Atlanta, GA. He earned a BS in Architecture at Georgia Tech in 2012. He helped form gray_matter(s), an artist collective and critical publication. He collaborated on site-specific installations for Flux 2011 and whitespec.

He is a 2016 Hambidge Fellow. He explored working with patterns and shooting outside as a part of the Queer Color Series. He has shown excerpts of this series at Mammal Gallery and Murmur Gallery and published in Number: Ninety and Wussy Vol 2.

He is a 2017-18 Hughley Fellow which culminated in a group show at MOCA GA. He photographed for the Queer Color Series on Ossabaw Island which provided a new set of environments.

He had his first solo show at The Bakery Gallery in 2018 titled "Dusty Rose" which featured excerpts from the Queer Color Series. He also self published a book of the same name that featured the Queer Color Series to date.

He is a 2020 Hambidge Fellow. He was there in March as the pandemic was unfolding. From this environment of uncertainty he continued in his Queer Color Series, but shifted under the apocalyptic future imagined of isolation, face masks, and sheltering in place. Excerpts have been shown in Mary Stanley / ACP's curated group show: "Good Trouble", at Mint Gallery.

He is a 2020 Cisco, UT Contributing Artist in Residency. At the height of the pandemic, he drove across the country to the remote high desert ghost town of Cisco where he continued his Queer Color Series.
