Art may have taken a back seat in Phil's early career (he studied Fine Arts at Stellenbosch University), but his creativity was all too obvious. For many years he worked as a writer, actor and theatre director, before establishing his own video production company in Johannesburg. He and his wife, Moira, moved to the UK in 2009, and now that he's older he's reconnected with art, particularly abstract painting. 'Brushes, palette knives, spatulas, paint, canvas, paper ... it's as if I've been reunited with old friends. Phil's work has been accepted in numerous exhibitions, online and otherwise, and he's currently busy with his Red series for a solo exhibition.
