About the artist:

My name is Eliza-Marie Phillip. I am a young adult from Southern,
vermont. I feel truly grateful to have grown up in a place that is
mostly trees and woods. My imagination had no limits as a child, I would
play outside for hours. Sometimes from when the sun would come up to
when the sun would go down. This sense of adventure and imagination is
reflected in my art today.

I paint characters that I refer to as monsters.
They have no gender and represent all people. The goal for my
work is to be inclusive of all types of people especially my LGBTQ+
community and my BIPOC community. I play off from phrases that I’m
feeling, the people around me are experiencing or inspiration from
walking around Burlington. I choose my colors with the intention of
drawing people’s attention. Having bright colors around your house, at a
coffee shop etc, creates an exciting uplifting energy. I want to
brighten people’s days and also show them something they can relate to.

I use canvas and acrylic paint to create my art pieces. I also enjoy
painting chairs, glass jars, and on clothing (jackets)! Exploring my art
has been a fun and rewarding venture. The amount of support and
positive feedback has warmed my heart and fueled my progress. I am
excited to see how far I can go with my work. I have many ideas and am
looking forward to sharing them with you all!
