Stephen Phibbs is an accomplished artist residing in the northern rivers of NSW. He has been exhibiting extensively for the last 13 years and his work is held in private collections world wide.
His recent work is of seascapes influenced by his travels along coastal Victoria and NSW.
These contemplative pieces are the process of artistic alchemy, informed by photographs and memories. They reflect the primordial power of the ocean, as playground, and a redemptive timeless force which sustains our imagination.

Creating is an experimental journey, where expectations change and discoveries become the catalyst to move beyond what is already known. The energizing and challenging nature of developing ideas and processes is my motivating force. Through my creative journey, I seek to unify my process in art and life, hopefully providing work of interest."
