Phillip Thomas (Chickasaw) inspires storytelling through his vibrant and dreamlike paintings that mix imagery from many origins. Thomas was first inspired by street art as a youth, and most of his young life was spent moving from the east to the west coast. He has been exposed to a range of American culture which has had a huge impact on his train of thought and how he approaches the content of his work. Thomas is a color mixing wizard. He spends his days blending pigments for Gamblin, and his nights are spent painting.
