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.
