From a young age, Phil discovered his natural talent for drawing, and soon learned that adding color transformed his sketches into paintings. He came to realize that every painting begins with an image and becomes a reflection of life itself. Drawn to the beauty of nature, Phil paints landscapes as a way of exploring the world and expressing his deep appreciation for creation. Through his work, he hopes to share the beauty and color of art with others. He believes his talent is a precious gift from God—one to be cherished, nurtured, and used to inspire. His advocacy is to be an example of living with purpose, showing others the beautiful colors found in the art of life.
