Philip Mix was born in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1955. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Painting from the Alberta College of Art in Calgary in 1980. His work has been exhibited in galleries across Canada and internationally, including in London, Israel, and Cyprus. From 1986 to 2011, he operated a conservation studio in Victoria, British Columbia, and was an active member of the Pacific Conservation Group and Canadian Conservation Associates. Now retired from art conservation, Mix lives in a small community on Vancouver Island, where he devotes his time to his studio practice, his family, and the ongoing challenge of taming an uncooperative garden.

Wind your way through the faceted landscapes of Philip Mix, where moments of time stand still, solid forms vibrate, and colour separates into prismatic layers. Dramatic and sculptural -- a kaleidoscope of colour and geometry. Time of day and natural elements appear reconstructed into a layered perspective that creates a stained-glass collage out of our coastal habitat.

Philip is intrigued with the intricacies of motion, rhythm and patterns found in nature such as leaves in the wind or ripples on the pond. His delight with colour and fascination with movement are themes that resonate throughout his work.
