Philip King

Visual Art – Portland

Philip King was born on Kauai, but grew up throughout the West Coast and Hawaii. There was never much reason for the moving, but it shaped his interests, directing them toward an appreciation for the variation of bio-regions in the world and a thirst for travel. His work revolves around these and other topics, both in visual art and in writing. Philip now lives and works in Portland, where he studies Art Practices at Portland State University and lives with his partner in a space that looks more like a library and museum gallery than an apartment. Together, they own two plants and, soon, a dog.
