About the artist
Phil Foster has been working as a freelance editorial illustrator since 1986 for myriad national publications, and is represented by Gerald & Cullen Rapp in New York City.
His personal woodworks bear the influence of those "editorial years"
as his work often contains reflective social observations, with an occassional
pivoting to works that are deliberately whimsical.
Wood is the core medium throughout these pieces,
with minor migrations incorporating other mixed materials.
Phil received his B.F.A. in painting from Utah State University in 1982
and his M.F.A. degree in printmaking from Wichita State University in 1985.
Phil has lived in Utah, Kansas, New Jersey/Manhattan, and for the last 36 years in Tennessee.
