Hi, I'm Phyllis. I'm an artist who loves creating original works using acrylic paints, watercolors and colored pencils.
I'm also a working graphic designer, a Mom of two, a Grammy who enjoys visiting her two delightful grandsons and an adopted Grammy who also enjoys visiting her two wonderful granddaughters.
I believe that each person who shows love and kindness to others should be treated in turn with respect and compassion.
Because I love what I do, I hope you will experience the joy I felt in creating these works for you to enjoy.
Poet Sara Teasdale kicks off her vibrant 1917 poem “Barter” with these captivating lines: "Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a, Soaring fire that sways and sings, And’s faces looking up, Holding wonder like a cup."
Just like Sara I wholeheartedly embrace the wonder of life, and my cup is overflowing with joy as I capture the breathtaking beauty of New England! Living in a charming small town on Long Island Sound fills my days with inspiration, from the crashing waves on rocky beaches to the lively seabirds in flight, not to mention my peaceful backyard brimming with nurturing crab apple trees, rolling hills, and vibrant flower gardens. My artistic journey ignited during the '60s and '70s, and since I can’t pinpoint the exact moment I started drawing and painting, it’s always been as effortless as running barefoot in the grass.
Today, my adventure continues to evolve and transform—just like me! I’m thrilled to share my latest original paintings and fine art prints on this website, and if you're interested, you can also find delightful products featuring my art at twochickadees.com. I genuinely hope you'll discover something here that resonates with you and brings joy to your life!
