Philip Miles – ‘Art-WORK’

July 25, 2024 - August 21, 2024

“This year I am retiring as a professional artist. A common response to this news is ‘How can you retire from something that isn’t work in the first place?’ This is a misunderstanding! To use the words of Thomas Edison, good art is 99% perspiration and only 1% inspiration. In this exhibition I wish to explain a bit about the work that lies behind the oil paintings I have produced over the last 16 years. There will be paintings from different stages of my career on display, though most will be recent ones.” Philip Miles

Join us for a very special exhibition to farewell and celebrate the art career of local artist Philip Miles, with his final exhibition at The Garden ahead of his imminent retirement.

Philip is based in Nowra and works mainly in oil, painting a wide variety of landscapes and related themes. He was born with a love of drawing and painting, which was honed in high school, studying technical drawing and art. He has been working part-time as an artist since 2008. In that time Philip has been published a number of times in Australian Artist Magazine and three times in International Artist Magazine. He has also won a number of prizes in local exhibitions, especially the Shoalhaven Art Society and Kiama Art Society shows.

As well as the Shoalhaven, Philip has lived in the Blue Mountains, rural USA, and also Japan for fifteen years. He has been influenced by the landscapes he has seen in these places and also by a number of the local artists of each countries.

To see more of Philip’s work head to his Facebook page and view Albums in the photo gallery.

‘Art-WORK‘ will be on display from Thursday the 25th of July until Wednesday the 21st of August and all artworks are available for purchase.
