MEET THE ARTIST PHILIP ALLEMAN The son of immigrants from the Netherlands who came to the United States to live the American dream, Philip Alleman had dreams of his own while growing up in New Jersey. H IS youthful artistic abilities fueled his desire to express himself personally in a variety of ways and he did so by drawing cartoons and creating elaborate freehand sketches. As he matured and wanting to share his talent with a larger audience, Philip started his own art business in 1989, called Night Owl Designs, Inc., where you can usually find him working around the clock on his designs and creations by designing logos, painting storefront windows, and large and small wall murals, which ultimately led him to his greatest pleasure, painting with acrylics and mixed media. Philip appreciates and relishes his powerful spiritual and emotional connection with the natural beauty that exists in our everyday lives. Often the simplest things are overlooked by most, but he connects to them easily and always looks to nature for inspiration. Whether abstract or realistic, his use of color and technique in his paintings draws the observer in, evoking their senses of excitement, joy, calm and peace. His abstract works are both intricate and simple, with colors perfectly woven to create the sense of a powerful journey. Philip’s determination has never allowed him to give up on his dream… that was never an option. He continues to express himself through various forms of artwork and is grateful to be able to share them with the world.
