Oil and Acrylic Painter Phyllis Halsted Freedman, an award-winning oil and acrylic painter, is fascinated by the interplay of color. Ever since she took her first art classes at Michigan State University more than 50 years ago, she has aspired to record her impressions of the natural world with her palette, regardless of the whims of the art world. "My heroes are Bonnard and Matisse," she says. "I love the way in which they use color so exuberantly. Influenced by them, I use color to emphasize different planes and provide an emotional setting." Over the years, she has had many one-person exhibitions and taken part in numerous juried shows. Her paintings range from intimate still lifes and portraits to landscapes and large abstracts. She studied at the University of Michigan and had private lessons with Sam Feinstein – a student of Hans Hofmann – as well as Leon Golub. She has exhibited in many corporate locations, including Johnson and Johnson and AT&T. Currently, her work is displayed in numerous private collections and at the New Brunswick Scientific Company.
