Showing in the Main Gallery: Woven Colorscapes by Shiri Phillips

Shiri Phillips is a painter in Omaha, NE. She studied at the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s College of Communication, Fine Arts, and Media and received a bachelor’s degree in Art History. Her works have been influenced by impressionism and the geometric nature of graphic design. Impasto painted strokes of bright colors are the framework of artist Shiri Phillips’ abstract artworks. Phillips uses thick strokes of color and places them with precision on canvas, creating a graphic-like or pixelated look. Her art is defined by the deliberate use of upbeat colors to convey an emotional and physical response. Inspired by the vibrant surroundings she found growing up on the Mediterranean and the Southern Californian Coast, Phillips is driven by the philosophy of “color is life.” Born in Los Angeles, Phillips relocated to Israel at an early age and returned to the United States to finally settle in Omaha, Nebraska. Phillips has made a strong and swift impact since she started exhibiting her artworks.  Within a short time, her works have already been exhibited in galleries and art fairs throughout the United States, including in New York and Los Angeles.

Showing in the Pop Up Gallery: Paintings by Bob Mathews

Local artist, Bob Mathews, will display his energetic and whimsical paintings in the pop up gallery for the month of March. Mathews retired from practicing ER medicine in 2017. Since that time he has turned his attention towards painting. Mathews’ inherent compassion informs his work, leading to pieces that offer intriguing glimpses into the lives of animals and humans alike. “There’s an energy level that spills over to my paintings from the ER,” Mathews said. “Bold colors, black lines, etc.” Mathews has shown his work on both coasts, from California to New York, and this work has been in nearly 60 group shows and seven solo exhibits.
