Phil Bob Borman is an artist who enjoys creating in both the three
dimensional and two dimensional realms. Phil Bob is an accomplished
sculptor who has been a professional artist since 1986. As a landscape
painter he is at home painting both plein air and in the studio.
A life long fan of Will Rodgers, Phil Bob mused that the cowboy humorist
brought him to an interesting artistic insight.
"Art is a visual language and like story telling the
content of the story simply where you start.
"It is how you tell the story that brings the smile,
creates the mood, and evokes the emotions.
"As an artist, using the tools of composition, form,
color, and light, I abstract them together so as not to render but to go
beyond the subject.
"As I look at a landscape, however big or small, I want
to communicate the spectacular I see even in the most mundane in
creation.
"My goal is to tell the story of what God has created
through fine art one piece at a time."
