Samual Elliot Phillips American, b. 2002

Samual Elliot Phillips is an American artist whose work blends classical Americana, punk counterculture, and poetic introspection. Raised outside Burlington, Vermont, he began drawing and writing at a young age, using art as a refuge from a sensitive childhood. His mixed-media practice embraces raw materials like charcoal and canvas, favoring immediacy and rebellion over refinement. Through stripped-down color and improvised mark-making, Phillips crafts bold, unfiltered images that reflect freedom, resistance, and the contradictions of American identity.
