Travis Phillips

Paul (Travis) Phillips is a conceptually driven interdisciplinary artist, curator, and community developer. Travis approaches ideas as if they are living and works to give them the time, resources, materials, techniques, and space needed for them to thrive. In the classroom Travis helps students name their ideas, find their relevance in today’s world, and explore these ideas through relevant creative processes. A firm advocate of interdisciplinary work, Travis’ work, both as an artist and as an educator, intentionally crosses disciplinary boundaries in ways that help art majors and minors advance their creative capacities as well as majors from other fields realize their creative potential as thinkers and makers. 

In addition to his role as an artist and instructor, Travis works closely with museums, arts councils, and community centers to develop relevant opportunities for artists such as residencies, artist collectives, exhibitions, professional development programing, and mentorship oportunities.
