Jude Phillips is a fine artist based in Burlington, Ontario who specializes in contemporary wildlife paintings. Being an animal lover, nature has always been at the heart of his work. His favorite pieces feature animals such as bears, foxes, wild cats, and of course the beloved pets of his clients, which are mainly, but certainly not limited to dogs and cats. Jude graduated from Sheridan College with a Bachelor’s degree in Illustration where he was able to hone in on his skills in capturing the complexities of the various animals that he has painted. Jude enjoys creating depth and movement in his paintings with detailed fur textures and life-like eyes. With these skills and passions Jude has found a soft spot and excitement for pet portraiture. This is especially so because he has a little dachshund at home, named Bandit. Since then bringing peoples pets to life on canvas has become a passion, and he has continued to put love into every brush stroke.
