Storm Striker Art by Justin Patten
About the Artist:
Storm Striker Art by Justin Patten began as way for Justin to weave together his love for sports and art. Justin seeks to capture the energy of the last moments of a sporting event with bold color and brush strokes in his paintings. This movement and energy seemed like a perfect fit with the excitement of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, so Justin was thrilled to become a licensed artist for the track.
As enthusiasm built over Storm Striker paintings, Justin and his wife, Rachel, decided to add a line of merchandise using the popular artwork. They now have a line of apparel, hats, flags, ornaments, vinyl stickers, LED lights, and drinkware. Justin is a full-time elementary school art teacher in Zionsville, IN so the business is truly a family affair, being run by Justin and Rachel, with lots of help from their boys, Troy Storm(11) and Lyle Striker (13).
They joined the Speedway Chamber of Commerce last March during the heart of the pandemic and found a second home with all of the community support. They were introduced to two local businesses that have become amazing partners: B. Erin Designs, owned by Brooke Minnix, and Three Sisters and a Trunk, owned by Marie Hall. Justin and Rachel truly value being Chamber members and being welcomed into the Speedway community.
In addition to the IMS line, they also have a line of collegiate products on their website, www.stormstriker.com and have a partnership with Evergreen Enterprises for a line of NFL, NHL, MLB, and over 70 NCAA schools. Those products can be found by google searching “Justin Patten” and your favorite team!
