Becky Eddy Phillips is a painter, performance artist, and sculptor. At The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, she learned how to use any medium to convey complex conceptual and contemporary ideas. She is interested in imaginative lineage
 and people being connected through a common source.Her work touches on sweeping scale themes of evolution and is fantastical and futuristic. It is tribal of old and new in a stand-off around water, land and sky, pulling from the past and drawing on the future. Pregnant rounded figures, combative peoples, unearthed goddess figurines and cats make-up the layered imagery in a perpetual battle of perception.

Becky Eddy Phillips is the recipient of a Franklin Furnace Grant in N.Y., a West Virginia Culture and History Grant for her sound track about generational patterns and a Puffin Grant for work with social relevance. Within a year, her work has shown in The Texas National 2010, The Forsyth Contemporary Juried Exhibit, The University of Science and Art of Oklahoma 7 State Biennial and several local exhibits. She holds a B.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an M.F.A. from West Virginia University. She has exhibited nationally for the past 20 years with many awards and reviews.
