Hello & Welcome to my Art Shop
My professional fancy name is Deni Cary Phillips, but you can just call me Deni. What you're seeing on this site is the accumulated work of decades, in a couple of styles I've developed over time -- painterly and fine-art documentary. Painterly is rather self-explanatory, and is by far my favorite work to create. Fine-art documentary is terminology I made up to describe photographs of objects and places you'll find familiar, but from a slightly different angle, a little more panache.
Self-taught in the early years, I migrated from film to dslr/digital, And with that I was able to edit my own work to create the art you see today. It's been a process!
Nature is the star of the show in most of my photographs -- the original artist.
Philosophically, I am drawn to nature's relationships -- how the rock and root intertwine, the way a rotting tree produces new fungal life, or how a tree manages to grow from so little soil perched high on a rocky canyon wall. I'm equally interested in the mood these elements adopt in changing light.
My home in central Missouri provides access to lovely colors throughout the seasons, while travel offers new vistas and places. I'm drawn to form and color, but always with emotional emphasis.
I'm privileged to enjoy a number of gallery opportunities, and some of my older photos are favorites -- but I'm especially thrilled to offer new work through this, my online art store. There are just so many options that I can't offer in a gallery setting, and you get to choose what is right for you. Don't miss the chance to play with the Wall Display feature!
Please enjoy looking through my photos -- and please, reach out. I'd love to hear your thoughts on my work, and help you with choosing what's best for your space.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
Though I use a mechanical instrument, a camera, to create art, I am most inspired by artists and their response to light falling on landscapes, across objects. Light falling off, or shining through. Light, and it's complement, darkness, accentuating forms and designs -- that is what inspires me to grow as an artist.
using the wonders of digital cameras and processing software. My current camera is a full-frame Nikon, allowing my images to be high-resolution and therefore, able to be made BIG. The processing software helps me bring my vision to life without the hassle and debilitating affects of film-developing chemicals. (I'm allergic.)
is a highly satisfying endeavor. That pleasure is enhanced by the opportunity to share. I feel privileged to have my work displayed for permanent public viewing in a number of commercial locations, as well as the gallery opportunities afforded by being an active member of my local Art League.
