Philippa, who has a Bachelor of Fine Arts, has taught extensively in formal educational institutions and in her private studio for many years. Philippa has exhibited in Johannesburg, and her works can also be found in many private collections. Philippa is committed oil painter, whose paintings exhibit tactile qualities with textured surfaces on which expressive mark-making and painterly brushstrokes are applied. Philippa’s sense of colour is evident throughout her work, which depicts abstract images of nature and themes including urbanization and deforestation, with an emphasis on global warming.
