Since 1978, many former students of the painting seminars and private study have been unusually successful in both their work and life, at least in part, from  their time studying with Prof Phil.  Being introduced to his vast network of artists has opened many doors for all of these creative workers.  12+ years ago, Prof. Phil's partner, Mantra started co-teaching with him. They ensure that each student expresses their own unique voice and message and that they never paint even remotely similar to them, or to one another. The versatility of their students' work reflects the teachers' indefatigable support, integrity, respect and encouragement for them as individuals. Both teachers and students build lasting bonds that are forged in spirit and strengthens the transformational  impact that their creative community, their tribe, has on the world.

The presentation above is a selection of just some of the artists (a very small sampling really) who have formerly, (over the last 40+ years), or are presently, studying the "mische" technique or other methods of painting with Mantra and Prof. Phil via the OMNV seminars and private study. Some are beginners who had never picked up a brush in their life while others were/are already accomplished artists in their own right. Whenever possible I have posted works here that were initiated and/or completed under our teaching. In some cases the work was done outside of the seminars and are included as an example.  WE ARE SO VERY PROUD OF ALL OF THEM. Check back with us often as we continue to add more works by inspiring artists on an on-going basis !
