Artist Spotlight: Audrey Phillips April 17 2020
Audrey Phillips has spent most of her life in Florida where the landscape captivated her from a formative age. Observing the expansive sky and the far-reaching vistas of the ocean augmented her ability to see in the abstract and also encouraged personal reflection, making her strongly attuned to the beautiful intelligence and power of nature.
Audrey received her Bachelor of Fine Art from the University of Florida. She has exhibited in solo and group shows in Minnesota, New York, Michigan, California, Texas, New Mexico, Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida, where she currently lives. Her work is in numerous national and international corporate and private collections. In 2019, fifty-four of her paintings were acquired by the University of Tampa for permanent installation in their newly renovated Southard Family Building.
