Philip can also be contacted for commisions and enquiries regarding his latest work.

Philip works in oil, water colour, drypoint and monotype. He enjoys working with form, colour and light, especially low winter and evening light which facillitates the wide tonal range in which he relishes.
Philip's immediate environment in Christchurch, the city scapes, Canterbury plains and mountains are a  source of inspiration. He meets regularly with a life drawing group and the female nude forms a large part of his work.
