Filled with \u201chappy mistakes and imperfections.\u201d That\u2019s how Phyllis Vaughn describes her work. \u201cThough I do have formal art training,\u201d she says, \u201cwhen I get a canvas in front of me, I create in free form from objects that exist in my imagination.\u201d And it\u2019s not just paint on canvas for her. She employs a variety of surfaces, mediums and techniques to achieve her whimsical, imagination-embracing creations.<\/p>\n

Vaughn\u2019s move from Georgia to full-time residency in a \u201cdream home\u201d in Hendersonville happened to coincide with the pandemic. \u201cDuring the first six months of the COVID period, I was busy creating a home and a creative environment for us to live in,\u201d Vaughn says, \u201cbut it was also the longest break from art I have ever taken in my adult life.\u201d It was right before the holidays, she adds, when she began to feel settled and ready to create again. \u201cI found myself finding inspiration and comfort in my new workspace with mountain views and the abundance of sunlight that streams into my tiny studio,\u201d she says. \u201cI look forward to what North Carolina brings out creatively in me\u2014as well as our newfound freedom and new beginnings for all of us creative souls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vaughn knew she was creative in her young years, but it wasn\u2019t until she left her northeast home to attend college in eastern Pennsylvania that she took her first formal art classes. \u201cI realized that I could be good at something I had a passion for,\u201d she says. \u201cFrom that point on, I focused on the creative arts.\u201d<\/p>\n

She spent those early years in exploration\u2014learning processes for bronze casting, figure drawing, kiln building and papermaking, among other things. \u201cAfter moving to the south, it took a while for me to find how I wanted to turn my love of the creative arts into a career,\u201d Vaughn says. She began by taking elements that she had collected with an artist\u2019s eye\u2014vintage fabrics, quilts, beads, lace and flea market treasures\u2014and turning them into art pieces she sold at local shows in the Atlanta area. She called her business Vintage Originals, later changing it to V. Originals. Things really took off for her when she began making art dolls\u2014\u201cgirlfriends, dearies, spirit women,\u201d some of the names she called them. Shops and galleries from around the country began placing orders. \u201cIn the mid-\u201890s, I expanded my business, bringing on some very dear artist friends,\u201d she says. \u201cWe began setting up twice a year at the Atlanta Gift Market in the Handmade Design section to take orders for our handcrafted creations.\u201d Over the next 20 years, she continued this venture, opening her first retail shop in the Atlanta area and setting up at local art shows.<\/p>\n

Eventually, she branched off into mixed media painting. \u201cFor many years, I was a part of the Slotin Folk Fest, which was, at one time, the largest show of American folk artists in the country,\u201d Vaughn says. \u201cThat show gave me inspiration for my true form of natural expression.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her process begins with choosing a surface: canvas, wood, tar paper and fabric being some of her favorites. \u201cTexture comes next,\u201d she says, \u201cfollowed by color, then more color using acrylic paint, charcoal or pastel crayons\u2014or all of the above. I then continue my process by scratching, sanding, stenciling, collaging, doodling and aging\u2014some of the different steps I take until I get the images I\u2019m pleased with. I usually end up with more paint on me than I do on my canvas. A final coat of varnish to make the colors pop and my quirky \u2018masterpiece\u2019 is complete.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrie Keith, owner of Twigs and Leaves Gallery in Waynesville, was drawn immediately to Vaughn\u2019s work when she came upon it. \u201cHer bright colors and fun subjects were the perfect unique addition to the gallery,\u201d Keith says, \u201cespecially as we transition out of the pandemic.\u201d Vaughn\u2019s work is also displayed at Art MoB Studios & Marketplace in Hendersonville, where owner Michele Sparks calls her pieces \u201cthe perfect, make-you-smile\u201d creations<\/p>\n

Through it all, Vaughn says, \u201cI like to think I have kept my sense of humor and found joy in expressing it through my paintings. I hope I do make a few people smile.\u201d<\/p>\n
