Phillip Roberts

Philip is a happily married, full time artist, from rural New Jersey. He relies heavily on his ability to use modern day technologies to bring his meticulous designs to life. These abilities are born from his love of art, design, machinery, and a long history of traditional woodworking. Art should bring life to a living space and wood should bring the warmth. Philip aims to create a captivating yet calming viewing experience while bringing these two, absolutely essential, ingredients to any room. Philip started creating wooden artwork which would require a mechanical aptitude, a heavy design sense, and hours of hands-on work in the woodshop.  The challenge has proven to keep him on his toes and he continually looks for ways to push the medium a bit further.

Art should bring life to a living space and wood should bring the warmth. Philip aims to create a captivating yet calming viewing experience while bringing these two, absolutely essential, ingredients to any room.

Some of his favorite things include: trees, tortillas, natural light, problem solving, warm fires, plants that climb, and sunny afternoons with the wifey.

After studying Digital Media in college, Philip worked professionally as a freelance Photographer, Videographer, and Designer for a number of years. Desperately missing hands-on work, he began a Wooden Furniture business which quickly grew into a company shipping furniture nationally with a full time crew of 12 employees. Burnt out and missing the “design” portion of work, Phil sold the furniture company 4 years later to seek out the perfect balance between “design” work and “hands-on” work. In 2017, Philip started creating wooden artwork which would require a mechanical aptitude, a heavy design sense, and hours of hands-on work in the woodshop. The challenge has proven to keep him on his toes and he continually looks for ways to push the medium a bit further.

Philip had a childhood surrounded by farmers, carpenters, engineers, and a freedom to build things. This perfect cocktail of ingredients was perfect for someone who loved to tinker, create, destroy, and start over. This childlike process has never stopped.
