Shiri Phillips


Impasto-painted strokes of bright colors are the framework of artist Shiri Phillips’ textural abstract artworks. Inspired by the vibrant surroundings she found growing up on the Mediterranean and the Southern Californian Coast, Phillips is driven by the philosophy of “color is life”. She uses thick strokes of color and places them with precision on canvas, creating a graphic-like or pixelated look.

Phillips studied at the University of Nebraska at Omaha's College of Communication, Fine Arts, and Media and received a bachelor’s degree in Art History. Her works have been influenced by impressionism and the geometric nature of graphic design. Phillips creates vivid impressionistic experiences for the viewer. Her layered works are paired with intent, giving the comfort of structure along with an emotional release of abstraction. Phillips' works have been exhibited in galleries and art fairs throughout the United States, including in New York and Los Angeles.

“My art is paired with intent to deliver pieces that hope to give the viewer the comfort of structure, along with the emotional release of abstraction. My study and love for Impressionism is also reflected in my art. The bold colors and loose brushstrokes are reminiscent of the great impressionist painters that I fell in love with as a young girl. By overlaying the various mediums in an abstracted or impressionistic way, I hope to create a unique and vivid experience for the viewer.”

Born in Los Angeles, Phillips relocated to Israel at an early age and returned to the United States to finally settle in Omaha, Nebraska. Phillips has made a strong and swift impact since she started exhibiting her artworks. Her international experiences shape her colorful paintings. Her rapidly growing collector base shares her love for artworks that burst with energy beyond the canvas to fill any space with positivity and joy. Within a short time, her works have already been exhibited in galleries and art fairs throughout the United States, including in New York and Los Angeles.
