My name is Myra Phillips and I'm an Illustrator from Kansas. As an artist, I find myself drawn to animals and subjects involving nature. I love to explore the relationship that history and humanity can have on nature. I enjoy weaving stories around the animals I draw, giving them personality and stories. For my work I like to bring in sketchy textures and the use of reductive mark making. I also try to bring in a sense of whimsy and dreamlike qualities in my work.
