Phyllis is a graduate of
Virginia Commonwealth University School of Fine Arts in Richmond, Virginia
where she studied Painting, Photography, Music, and Film. Her
color photography was chosen for a major exhibition of Virginia artists at
the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. She has exhibited photography and
paintings at various juried shows throughout North Carolina and Virginia. In
2006 her painting "Aspire" was featured on Raleigh's Local Access TV
"Monday Night Live".
Phyllis' love for the Arts began
at a very early age. As a youth she was awarded and recognized for her
drawing, painting, sculpture, and photography. Today she is an accomplished
artist with works frequently
exhibited in Virginia and the Carolinas. While Phyllis
enjoys a successful career as an independent consultant with
Eolus Compliance
Solutions,
she remains most passionate about the Arts.
Ms. Weldon's works consist of
color photographs, oil, watercolor, and acrylic paintings, pen and ink
drawings, commissioned portraits and murals, stained glass
installations/window design, and illustrations. After her undergraduate
degree she worked as a graphic artist, photographer and illustrator for the
Virginia General Assembly. And at the advent of the personal computer, she
became the Creative Director at Riddick Communications responsible for
computer graphics, PicturePak™, illustrations, and commercial videos for
corporate communications. Since that time, she created album and book cover
designs, restaurant menus, brochures, logos, stain glass windows, and web
pages for various organizations and individuals.
Ms. Weldon enjoys singing blues, jazz, Italian arias and French Art songs and
enjoys
ballroom
and swing
dancing in Raleigh, NC. She
frequently attends the NC Symphony, NC Opera, and other local concerts. She enjoys swimming
laps, walking, cycling and sailing. She periodically travels abroad to
expand her horizons, view the great art of the world, experience history,
visit sites of ancient mysteries, and takes photographs all over the globe.
