The works in\n“Lasting Impressions” v ary in subjects: from simple floral still\nlives to grand country homes an d elegantly staged pottery\, Rick’s\npieces capture the beauty in averag e objects. His paintings remind the\nviewer to appreciate the way light fa lls on a roof panel or the shadow\ncast by a teacup on a bunch of cherries . “Rick is an exquisite\nartist with an outstanding reputation. The work s he has produced for\nthis show are just as beautiful as ever\, solidifyi ng his place as one\nof this region’s finest talents” says Carol Boyd- Heron\, co-owner\nof the Peninsula Gallery.  Hailing from the Susquehanna Valley in\nPA\, Rick Phillips now calls Claymont\, DE his home. After g raduating\nwith honors from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh\, he excelled as an\nillustrator\, working for more than 25 years with public relations\ nfirms and advertising agencies in the mid-Atlantic region. His\naccomplis hments include commissioned works for Bank of America\,\nCampbell Soup Com pany\, and Glaxo SmithKline Pharmaceuticals.  In the\nmid-90s\, Phillips changed his career path from illustration to fine\narts. He combines his a bility to paint quickly and boldly with his\ninterest in 19th-century impr essionism. His fine art is a part of many\nprivate collections\, including that of President Joe Biden. Rick\nteaches at Delaware College of Art and Design\, The Darley Arts Center\,\nand Tyler Arboretum.    Rick says of his work\, “In the city\, in\nthe country\, or working on a still life of antiques and florals\, I get\nto the heart of my subjects with loose an d bravura brushstrokes\,\nelegant and evocative color\, and a unique sense of mood. My portfolio\nincludes images of barns\, fields\, and farmhouses \, as well as more\nnostalgic subjects like the rugged bicycles I remember as a child.”\n“Lasting Impressions” is on display from October 1st through the\n23rd.
