Biography

Phyllis Shipley, International Artist Brief Bio
Written by Margo of A.C.C.E.S.S
Phyllis Shipley, an international artist, gallerist and is one of the “Who’s Who in America for 2021 and 2022”. She has been producing fine art paintings for the past thirty (30) years. Playing and teaching the organ and piano way before touching her brushes, a true example of a multidisciplinary artist indeed!
Phyllis has participated and been awarded in many art shows around the United States and internationally, represented by 5 big galleries in the most prestigious art shows around the world. Her ART reflects the JOY OF LIFE… her brush strokes and color palette expresses the emotions of excitement and joy.
Art is her driving force, figurative, yet abstract, dictated by her inner vision with an indescribable feeling of freedom and strength. Phyllis easily loses her sense of time, using a variety of textures, discovering the wonderful action and reaction of paints and materials. She is just like a flower, delicate yet so strong… when the strong rain comes and beats her down… she prays for the sun to shine and she perks back up again, showing her strength and her faith.

Artist Statement

Painting, for me, is a driving force of emotion and I enjoy using color in relating that emotion. As I layer thin glazes of paint and let it develop as my "inner vision" dictates, expressing strength, gentleness, rhythm and color, my subject develops. I then emphasize and strengthen my subject with controlled and free strokes to keep the painting loose and energetic. Many times, I add hidden images to keep the painting interesting in expressing my thought or emotion. As in music, art has a way of producing a reaction to your senses. Striving to emit a story using the power of my 3 S’s in a painting; senses, suggestion, and symbols, my desire is to express joy, surprise and energy for life when you look at my work.
