As a landscape painter, Philip's interest is in light, volume, and capturing the impression of a particular place at a particular time. His paintings convey information about the subject’s landscape history and the kind of sensory impressions that can make the viewer feel as if he or she is right there. Philip's paintings transform the physical experience of the place into two dimensions.

A native of Augusta, Georgia, Philip’s love for the landscape began on the many trips his family made to explore the forests and fields of the Southeast, and continued to grow through many years of travel through Europe and the United States. His work as an artist began in earnest while Philip was studying in Cortona, Italy. After receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Georgia in 1990, he continued to travel frequently, painting the landscapes of the places he visited, including England, Germany, India, and the western U.S. He earned a Master of Landscape Architecture degree from the University of Georgia in 1997, writing his thesis on the pre-settlement savannas that once flourished across the southeastern piedmont. Though still painting the landscapes of foreign travel, much of his current work explores southeastern landscapes which have remained in a natural state.

Philip's work is held in private, corporate, and public collections and has been exhibited in one- and two- person shows and juried group exhibitions.
