About the Artist
Paula Phelan is the artist, writer and founder of PiP Art Studio.
Her work often begins with something noticed, remembered, questioned, or held long enough to become an image. An image might become a book, a music video, or something entirely new.
PiP Art Studio is the creative home for this ongoing body of work, bringing together books, art, music, and mixed media created across more than five decades.
About PiP Art Studio
Different doors. Different rooms. Same Museum/Studio.
PiP Art Studio is a collection of my work over decades. Over time, I discovered that although the work takes many forms, there is a common thread running through it.
Again and again, I find myself interested in what happens when we pay attention to one another, when we become curious about someone else’s life, history, experience, or point of view. Kindness finds its way into the work too, often as a way of communicating across the distances between us.
But not everyone experiences an idea in the same way.
Some people enter through music. Others through stories, images, history, performance, immersive experiences, or objects. I like being able to tell a story in the form that suits it, while giving people different ways to find a path into the work.
So I have come to think of PiP Art Studio as a museum with many doors and many rooms.
You don’t have to visit them all.
Just come in through the door that interests you.
