Michael Phillips is
well known for his accurate depictions of birds and other
wildlife in their natural environment.
The amazing, lifelike details draw the viewer in for a
closer look.
Michael has successfully
represented Trinidad & Tobago in the sport of cycling for 14
years. Throughout his cycling career he has received many
accolades, nationally, regionally and internationally and has
set records which are unbroken to this day.
His flagship event The Beacon Insurance West
Indies vs. The World Cycling Series has been hosted for many
consecutive seasons and has achieved international television
broadcast in Europe.
As the Public Relations Officer for the Beacon Insurance
Co. Ltd, his future goals include the realization of a new
international standard cycling facility and development
programme.
Michael has also been
involved in the
Guardian Make a Difference program, which is a
motivational speaking series for secondary school students. All
of his presentations include an environmental message as part of
the overall self-development programme. He recently received a
special award from the City of Port-
of- Spain for his
contribution to sport & youth development.
When we focus on the artistic side to Michael
Phillips, we see an artist who, to date, has successfully
produced 6 solo art exhibitions and participated in numerous
group shows. On
three occasions, he was commissioned by companies in Trinidad
and Barbados
to produce artwork for their calendars.
In solo wildlife exhibitions such as “Finding
Sanctuary” and “Vanishing Treasures”, he extended beyond local
subject matter and also featured threatened and endangered
species from around the world, deriving inspiration from
international travel and local rainforests.
It is Michael’s belief that through art, greater
appreciation for environment conservation could be achieved.
