Artist Biography
Phyllis
Mantik lives in Stillwater, OK. A native of Canada
and a 1978 graduate of the Alberta College of Art
in Calgary, Phyllis moved to Oklahoma in 1981 to
further her career as a Designer.
She believes that her own introduction to sculpture was by design. From her earliest
experiences of completing a sculpture, seeing form
emerge from a lump of clay, she has delighted in
creating. Out of this personal joy she also senses
responsibility, as a sculptor, to create work that
adds value to our existence, to evoke a smile, to
touch someone’s heart and for a moment to capture
his or her emotions. When someone relates to her
sculpture from their own experiences, it gives the
work meaning and keeps it alive. Her desire as a
sculptor is to be someone who represents goodness
in life by creating, teaching, learning, discovering,
sharing, and serving.
Phyllis teaches and
studies sculpture at every opportunity. She has been
exhibiting and selling her work since 1991. Her sculptures
are held in corporate and private collections in
the United States and Canada.
