Phyllis is experienced in a range of paint and plaster finishes; including marbling, wood graining, grisaille, polish plaster, gesso and bas relief. She enjoys drawing from her interest in the natural world and the history of art to come up with a unique proposal for each project. In 2021 she was awarded a QEST scholarship to study marbling and wood graining under the master painter Pierre Beaudry in London. Every project is approached from a place of curiosity, with sensitivity to the context and aims of the work, and embracing collaboration with other disciplines.

With experience in restoration work in museums and churches, Phyllis is able to replicate or match repair damage to marble, wood or stone surfaces; whether they are genuine or painted. She is comfortable working on building sites of any size, from painting large pillars or a high ceiling from a scissor lift or cherry picker, to smaller residential sites, or even installing work made in advance in the studio. Every project is approached from a place of curiosity, with sensitivity to the context and aims of the work, and embracing collaboration with other disciplines.

Working as both a fine and decorative artist has allowed Phyllis to amass an in-depth knowledge of materials in order to manipulate them and create highly specific and unique works for a range of settings. From works of verre eglomise, painted screens, bas relief panels to works on paper; every project is approached from a place of curiosity, with sensitivity to the context and aims of the work, and embracing collaboration with other disciplines, whether creating work for an individual, a designer or as part of a bigger project.
