PHYLLIS MANTIK DeQUEVEDO • WAOW Master • OK • www.mantikstudio.com Phyllis Mantik deQuevedo makes her home in Oklahoma City. She is native of Canada and a graduate of the Alberta College of Art in Calgary, Alberta. Phyllis believes it’s the transforming experiences in life such as tenderness, intimacy and spirituality that enable artistic growth and motivation for her sculpture. To her, the most powerful art involves the human figure. The inspiration for her current figurative series is flora and focuses on representing botanical forms through metaphor as they relate to human forms and human experiences.
