Afternoon at the Beach Painting

Phil has always been interested in art. He started drawing and painting in High School and went on to study art at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art. After graduating he went on to pursue a commercial art career. As a graphic designer, he found that his understanding of light and shadow, form and perspective, guided his illustrations in a real and convincing manner. During this time Phil never lost his passion for painting but between raising a family and working full time, there was a limited amount of art that could be accomplished. Now Phil is pursuing his dream of painting full time as a professional artist. Also, Teaching an oil painting class at a Local Arts center has proven to be a very rewarding experience. “Windswept dunes, and the wild plants that struggle to grow around them, the relentless sea pounding sand and rocks.
 Western mountains and the streams that flow from them. These elements are an exciting challenge for me. Inviting the viewer to share in my emotions about these subjects is my goal as an artist.” Phil Meade Phil Meade is an Award winning artist with works in many private collections. Currently showing at Spectrum Gallery in Wilmington and Fine Art at Baxters in New Bern and Sunset River Market Place. in Calabash NC.
