Jason E. McPhillips is a professional artist who currently maintains his studio in Boulder, CO. He specializes in drawing, which informs both his painting and relief sculpture. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University as a film student from 1996-1999, making numerous short films, but soon found himself called to the more contemplative mediums of representational painting and sculpture. In late 1999 Jason enrolled in the certificate program at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. During the course of his stay there he was awarded the Thomas Eakins Memorial Prize for Figure Painting, the Michael G. Cappuzzi Memorial Endowment, and the coveted Lois and Charles X. Carlson Landscape Painting Residency. He has apprenticed under noted sculptor Anthony Visco and with painter/filmaker Bo Bartlett.
After finishing his studies at the academy he worked briefly as a freelance illustrator, production artist and web designer. In 2003, Jason furthered his education through a self-financed, five month landscape painting expedition through the United States. Painting daily, he traversed twenty-five states. Paintings, sketches, and journal excerpts from this series, entitled Travelogue, have been exhibited in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Montana. His work hangs in many private collections as well as the R.M. Shoemaker Corporation of Pennsylvania. Presently he teaches drawing through theBoulder YMCA and Breakthrough Arts Program for teens. He seeks to awaken wonder in his students, through the twin miracles of art and the human body.
