Read a bit about Philip, from his website:
Philip Barter was born in Boothbay Harbor, Maine in 1939 and has always had an interest in art. He studied with Spanish abstract expressionist Alfonso Sosa in California in the 1960’s, and also with Fritz Rockwell after returning to Maine. He was influenced by their use of bold form and color. Since the time that Philip started exhibiting in the 1960’s, his work has been shown in major museums and collections world-wide, and can be seen exhibited in galleries in and around Maine.
