Phyllis Thelen was born in Colton, California in 1926, and spent her youth making art out of anything she could find. By the time she enrolled at Connecticut College in 1944, she had experimented with sculpture, painting, poetry, and numerous other art forms, including dance and music. She ultimately found her calling as an experimental artist creating sculptural forms out of organic materials. After receiving her BA she moved back to California and continued her education at the Art Institute of San Francisco, Dominican University of California, and later the Miasa Bunka Center in Japan, where she studied with Toshi Yoshida. Phyllis later received an honorary Ph.D. from Dominican University in 2002. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions at countless galleries and museums, including the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art, the Morris Graves Museum of Art, and the Berkeley Art Museum. Phyllis is a Founder of Art Works Downtown, the Marin Ballet Association, and Youth in Arts. She chaired the San Rafael Cultural Affairs Commission, and has been listed in Who’s Who of American Women. In 2010 she was selected as “Marin Master” for the Marin Art Festival and also received the Cultural Treasure Award from the Marin Cultural Services Commission. Since the passing of her husband Max in 2014, Phyllis has moved to a home in San Rafael, where she still makes art at her studio and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
