Ebony G. Patterson's
 expansive practice addresses visibility and invisibility through explorations of class, race, gender, youth culture, pageantry, and acts of violence in the context of "postcolonial" spaces. With the strong sensibility of a painter, Patterson works across multiple media - including tapestry, photography, video, sculpture, drawing, and installation - united by her consistent visual language and intention. Each work is intricately embellished and densely layered, to draw the viewer closer and to question how we engage in the act of looking. The idea of the garden, both real and imagined, has formed an essential arc of Patterson's practice. Framing the garden as an active site of power, Patterson explores it as a metaphor for "postcolonial" space and an extension of the body. 
Patterson received her BFA in painting from Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts in Kingston, Jamaica, in 2004. She received an MFA degree in 2006 in printmaking and drawing from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. Patterson has taught at the University of Virginia, Edna Manley College School of Visual and Performing Arts, Associate Professor in Painting and Mixed Media at the University of Kentucky, and was the Bill and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work is in the public collections of 21c Museum and Foundation, Louisville, Kentucky, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA, Nasher Museum, Duke University, Durham, NC, National Gallery of Jamaica, Kingston, Jamaica, Pérez Art Museum Miami, FL, Speed Art Museum, Louisville, KY, Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, NY, The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY, among others. In 2021, Patterson was included in both the Liverpool and Athens Biennials. She lives and works in both Chicago, IL, and Kingston, Jamaica, and is co-represented by Monique Meloche Gallery, and Hales New York/ London, who will co-present Ebony’s monumental installation from the Liverpool Biennial at The Armory Show NY in Platform section curated by Tobias Ostrander.
