Art Exhibit l R. Michael Phillips: A Retrospective

This exhibition celebrates the artistic journey of R. Michael Phillips, a talented artist whose legacy resonates deeply within the South Carolina art community. With a career spanning over 40 years, Michael’s mastery of watercolor, egg tempera, and oils allowed him to create visionary portrayals of the world around him. His work captures the beauty of everyday life, often inspired by the scenic landscapes of the Carolinas. A significant early commission—a portrait of William Penn for Philadelphia’s bicentennial—marked the beginning of a remarkable career that saw his art displayed in prestigious venues, including the International Exhibition of Miniature Art in Toronto and The Mitchell Gallery at St. John’s College.
