Welcome to my online gallery!
I have been painting full time professionally since 1979. I received my BFA from the University of Victoria in that year and since then have been lucky enough to be able to earn my living as an artist. In my painting, I discover and explore both my reality and my memories. I realize that I am not only remembering specific moments but in some of my recent paintings, interpreting the act of memory itself. I am interested in what the distance of time and space can do to distort and obscure the images. Another important vein in my work is concerned with beauty; my wonder at just how beautiful the world is...beautiful and, at times, terrible. I work in oil, acrylic, watercolour, and monotype. I hope that you enjoy the work! If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at my e-mail address, phyllis.s@telus.net |
