PROCESS & PRACTICE 

My work is informed by nature, a kind of mythical nature. The power of storms, the spiritual quality of the elements, the beauty, grace and ferocity of plants and animals. Something greater than myself, something I can’t comprehend. Painting and making monotypes is my search  for the mystery within the subject, within myself.  Phil Garrett
