Pat Phillips paints in her Pink Dog studio at 348 Depot Street. The point of departure for the paintings are the works of Hans Hofmann, Joseph Albers and Casper David Friedrich. Taking the lessons learned from these artists, the push-pull of color is used to create a transcendental mood of strength and power that people will gravitate towards. Emphasis is placed on the interrelationship of shapes, lines, textures and colors.
Pat is also a studio jeweler where the subject overrides the material Each piece is hand wrought in gold and silver, starting from sheet and wire.
