Phil Illustration
Phil was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Phil paints things. He schooled at Toronto's Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD U) and Calgary’s Alberta University of Art (AUART), in painting, printmaking, photography and design. Phil's artwork focuses on timeless icons, objects and points of interest. He paints on reclaimed wood panels which suggest that the artwork is old and has been around for some time. The effect of the worn patina gives each artwork a feeling of time and a recalled memory from the past - items that are well used and well loved. His artwork often includes hints of a mystery, curious coincidences and a dose of humour and frivolity. Phil is handy, he has a couple of motorcycles, is proud of his three adventurous grown children, and an amazing wife that supports him in everything he does.
