Phillip Hulsey Art

Passion for Nature

 Motivated by a passion for creation, Philip is drawn to art as a means of self-expression and to articulate his relationship with the natural world around him.  Trail Spirits as a creative concept meets at the intersection of his spiritual connection with nature, his animistic beliefs, and his fascination with mythology.

Art & Creation

Trail Spirit Masks bring a fresh and surprising approach to the art of Appalachia. The non-traditional use of gourds as masks deviates from their traditional use as utilitarian objects or folk art, and the use of recognizable natural materials collected locally by the artist lends an Appalachian character to Trail Spirits. Each unique mask addresses a various aspect of nature as its theme. Masks are believed to evoke the spirits they represent, allowing the wearer of the mask to act as a medium to the spirit. However, Trail Spirit Masks are not worn but displayed on the wall. They may not conjure up any spirits, but they do project a presence and personality. 

 


The Natural Artist

 Philip is originally from Chincoteague Island, Virginia, where he grew up a nature lover. His connection with nature has played an important role in his art, his ideas, and where he has arrived at this point in life. Life's journey has led him to Asheville, an art enclave located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Here he finds an abundant source of inspiration in living systems, patterns in nature, and the wilderness around him.
