ART TALK - Gary Phillips, Free-lance illustrator (September 20, 2026)

Sun, 20 Sep 2026 18:00:00 GMT

“Beyond Words – Illustrating the Story”

This program will begin with a general introduction to the profession of illustration. Then we'll take a deeper dive into the specific considerations involved in illustrating a complete book. There will be an emphasis on methods and means with a Q & A afterwards.

Gary Phillips earned a BFA in Communication Design, majoring in Illustration, from Kutztown
University. He later studied at three different ateliers for many years to solidify drawing the
figure from life. Regular painting en plein air (out of doors before nature) is also an important
practice allowing him to create a sense of light in his imaginative illustration commissions. He
taught for eight years at Moore College of Art and Design and did stints at his alma mater.
