Meet Christy Phillipps (Canvas Rebel Interview)

"It was on Martha’s Vineyard that I got my first industrial sewing machine and taught myself how to sew. I began with leather hats, I don’t know why, but this taught me a lot about pattern making and difficult sewing. My husband was making tiles using clay he gathered from the Wampanoag Indians. Creating intricate rug patterns and also he was a painter making his oil paints. I was working on running The Field Gallery, turning around a somewhat dilapidated gallery into a thriving happening scene with weekly rotating artist parties. It was an exciting time."
