Interests and Personality

BiographyInspired by life in Eritrea, childhood memories of growing up in Saskatchewan, and the fact that his parents met and married while working at Hallmark, it is no surprise that Phil became an artist. "Growing up in Saskatchewan, I often ran through the wheat fields near Regina and then sat down in the middle of a field to unload my mind by sketching.. It was a chance to think creatively and be free. " "Eritrea was only a short part of my young adulthood, but very important. I learned a lot about colour and a lot about life. It changed me forever," Phil says. In 2006 he completed and published Brother Eagle, Sister Moon, a novel about an Iraqi family in the current war. He is married to artist Anastasia Nelson and has two children - Joseph and Sara. Joseph is a college student and Sara recently graduated with a degree in Creative Writing. There are approximately 11 black cats living in the art studio...Miss Mika Moto (above) rules!

All your work is so charming and all with the "Out West" flair. Your Fantasy Characters are so neat as well as your abstracts and the whole body of work. Marlena (Narnar)

Hello, I am liking the ranch paintings a lot (are they paintings?) i haven't managed to work out how to see the details of artworks yet. Anyway, I think they are way too cheap, are you mad?
