My name is Jude Phillips, and I'm an artist based in the vibrant city of Burlington, Ontario. Though I now call Burlington home, my artistic journey began in the picturesque town of Brockville, Ontario, where I discovered my passion for painting at a young age. Encouraged by those around me to continue practicing my artistic skills and push me forward. I was lucky enough to stumble upon an Ontario program for young entrepreneurs that gave out some start-up funds and neccessary mentoring on starting a business and worked through my summers facepainting at every fair available near by.

​

This seeded a passion for art and business which led me to pursue a degree in Illustration at Sheridan College, where I immersed myself in various forms of artistic expression, from traditional painting and drawing to digital arts and graphic design. It was during my time at Sheridan that I had the privilege of training under a talented mural artist based in Oakville, Linda Holmes. Together, we worked on projects for Smilezone, a charitable organization dedicated to brightening the environments of children's hospitals and healthcare spaces.

​

For over ten years, I've been fortunate to collaborate with Smilezone, creating murals and artwork that bring joy and comfort to young patients and their families. This experience has been immensely rewarding and has reinforced my belief in the power of art to uplift and inspire.

​

As an artist, my goal has always been to create beauty that touches hearts, empowers and brings smiles. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to pursue my passion professionally, and I'm grateful for every opportunity to make a positive impact through my work.

Thank you for joining me on this artistic journey. I invite you to explore my portfolio and discover the joy and beauty that art can bring to our lives.
