Artist Statement

Phyllis O’Shields - O’Shields Fine Art - Contemporary Impressionism -
Miami Beach, Florida

Painting Nature’s Magical Places - This blog is Inspired by Tropical and Coastal Areas, Exotic Flowers in Tropical Settings and Tropical Colours

I am an artist painting all worldwide jaunres in oils, pastels and watercolour. I was trained in European Classical Painting and Figurative Drawing but my personal style has developed more into contemporary impressionism with the use of bright tropical colours.

I greatly enjoy working on commissioned pieces for custom homes.

I've discovered that all art forms that touch the viewers heart are fundamentally the same; they are about revealing truth and beauty, they demand the utmost in time and attention, and must be grounded in excellent technique.

My mission is to paint daily and create paintings that are full of colour, joy, light, life and emotion. Paintings are in private & corporate collections worldwide. I have an extensive network of private art patrons who love the locations worldwide that I paint. All of my art work is executed on archival canvas or paper using the highest quality in lightfast, paint, watercolor or pastel. All of my works are delivered with a certificate of authenticy. Signed archival prints and giclees are available in limited number editions.

I strive to paint Global Wonders that I have visited or lived in… Sharing this experience and emotion with viewers who have also visited or wish to visit these special places. I am a world traveler painting as I go.

Twice a year in the North American winter months I hold workshops in the Bahamas, painting en plein air. Also I hold figurative workshops in Miami Beach three times a year in the winter months.

In this blog I document a changing way of life, as ocean front disappears from our global landscape. My painting is a chronicle to preserve changing ocean views, the movement of life along the coasts and how the landscape under bright blue skies and the oceans are always in a state of change……

My background in art started at a young age with private oil painting lessons from grade school through graduation from college, University of Miami. After university I studied privately for many years with Gifford Nicolaides in an European style Atelier. I went on to study classically in France, Italy and London. Each year presently I take workshops with pastel and oil painting artists of note. I also attend weekly university life drawing classes, staying in the routine of drawing from the live model.

I have lived and visited for extended periods in many countries besides America for the purpose of painting: Australia, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Japan, Hong Kong, Canada, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia, Trinidad & Tobago, Cayman Islands, Saint Martin, Bermuda, Aruba, Mexico, Spain, Holland, England and Italy.
