 Taking her first painting lesson at the age of 9, Phyllis' love of the arts quickly became her passion. Since that first lesson, she has experimented with many mediums, but she continues to find acrylics best suited to the style and tone of her creative work.
She studied at New England School of Art in Boston and worked as a traveling freelance photographer throughout the east coast. She eventually settled down in Maine, where she raised two sons as a single mom. Her time fell short for her art during this period, but her love and passion continued.
She became a member of the New Hampshire Art Association and her work was shown throughout Maine and the White Mountains area of New Hampshire. During this time, she also completed commisioned calligraphy work for sail boats, reflecting her love for being on the water. In 2005, even though she loved the lakes and rivers of western Maine, she decided to trade her snow shovel in and moved to Tucson, Arizona for a new perspective on life. The desert has inspired an exceedingly creative period in her work; the depth and passion in her recent paintings radiate off of the canvas. She has recently shown work at various venues in Tucson, including Stone Gallery and Dinnerware Arts, as well as Agua Caliente's Ranch House Gallery, and has also completed a number of private commissions. In April, 2009, her solo "Desert Visions" showed in Washington D.C. Links:

Why I Shop at SarnoffWhen I first moved to Tucson in 2005, Sarnoff's was the first art store my son introduced me to. We purchased a beautiful easel which has seen many layers of paint and has held up beautifully. Just last week I was dismayed at the news that one of my canvas', which is being shown at the TIA Gallery, had a problem with a sagging corner to the painting. I called Sarnoff's and with Henry's assistance, he introduced me to a product called Tighten Up which I immediately purchased and applied to the painting. It was like magic and the tautness was once again back to its original state. Thank you Sarnoff and staff for great customer service. Phyllis |
