Phil Garrett is a painter, master printmaker and author who did his undergraduate work at the University of South Carolina, and the Honolulu Academy, studying under Gabor Peterdi. He received his BFA at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1974. He is the founder and sole printer of King Snake Press (1998-2017). His prints and paintings are in public and private collections in the USA, Europe and Japan including the SC State Museum, Greenville County Museum of Art, Morris Museum in Augusta, GA and the State Collections of South Carolina and Hawaii. After a number of years living and working in Santa Fe, NM, Phil’s studio is now located in Mill Spring, NC.
Garrett’s states: “My work is informed by nature—a kind of mythical nature. The power of storms, the spiritual quality of the elements, the beauty, grace and ferocity of plants and animals…. Something greater than myself, incomprehensible. Painting and making monotypes is my search for the mystery within the subject, within myself.”
