"I am inspired by the places around me—both natural and urban locations, color harmonies and the changing light on the landscape forms. Painting the landscape offers me a compelling way of relating with the ephemeral reality of the senses."

"Painter Philip Frey has found a new freedom. In the past year he has transitioned from acrylic to oil while exploring an approach to the landscape that leans into the abstract."  — Carl Little, Philip Frey: Fresh Ways, 2011 Courthouse Gallery Fine Art Solo Exhibition Catalog.
