Phillips-Curran — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 16:33:23 +0000

Over the many years that I have been a practicing artist, patrons have helped by supporting my painting trips. My first trip was autumn to the Mont Tremblent area in Quebec. It was in the 80’s and a lovely little room was secured because of their support. I painted the ancient colourful … Read More

add a little sun

Phillips-Curran — Tue, 04 Feb 2020 14:53:43 +0000

Years ago I regularly travelled to Bermuda. I accidentally found a niche there with my artwork. Sudie Curtice and Amanda Outerbridge at Windjammer Gallery happily sold my watercolours there for 17 years. Sadly, my patron and gallery owner, Sudie, passed away and after a while, the gallery closed. I think of those … Read More

I am most inspired by light. My subject matter may change and shift, but light remains the constant. Sometimes it’s the light through the trees, or on a path, in a puddle. Other times it is the dappled light on a wall, a gate, a shutter, or a door. The contrast of … Read More

Bermuda

Phillips-Curran — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 17:41:20 +0000

Wandering I lift my head and open my eyes. My second-hand camera hangs heavily around my neck. I walk, setting out in a direction that matters not. I will find my muse, she awaits me just up ahead. I follow the warmth of Bermuda’s winter light, well below the 49th parallel. This … Read More
