Phillip Timper

I was lucky to have had a painting teacher at an early age.  She told me on the first day, “ If you can draw, you can paint, you just have to learn color.”  She opened a door for me – and I walked through. That started a lifelong journey, a journey I’m still on by the way.

Since an early age my life has centered around art and the drive to create it. I believe the aesthetic experience occurs in a personal moment when the recipient experiences art. I create my paintings for that moment.

Oil paint, watercolor and pencil have always been my choice of media to reflect the world around me. Today, my oil work is based around the Grand Canyon. Drawn from photos I’ve taken while inside.
