Art Inspired: Dymond Phillips

Isis Revisited

Garden Spices featured renowned artist and friend, Ronnie Phillips, a few years ago. This summer, I viewed the art of talented Dymond Phillips, Ronnie’s daughter, and I couldn’t help but wonder how he inspired her. As it turns out, she told me, “Both of my parents inspired me,” Phillips explained. “My mother is a fashion designer.” Indeed, Phillips has artistic roots. Her mother, Darlene Jackson, is a noted Fashion Designer, whom you will also meet during this issue., but here and now, meet Dymond Phillips –Victorine
