Phyllis has this life long fascination with the human form, always exploring it’s endless possibilities. Whether with painting and drawing materials or collage and found objects, she often combines the different media. Her work has evolved from the yoga-inspired meditative quality to a more lively playful form. Her most recent body of work with mannequins evoke a feeling of fun and fashion.
