ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Phyllis Kalu is a contemporary visual artist specializing in acrylic painting, known for her vibrant and expressive works that bridge community, creativity, and spirituality. Her art spans daycare murals, portraiture, and spiritually inspired visuals, each piece reflecting a deep commitment to storytelling and emotional connection.
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Phyllis draws inspiration from everyday human experiences, faith, and the transformative power of art in shared spaces. Her daycare murals bring color and imagination to early learning environments, while her portraits capture the individuality and essence of her subjects. Through her spiritual pieces, she explores themes of inner reflection, purpose, and divine influence.
Phyllis has participated in several art exhibitions throughout the Atlanta area, steadily building a presence within the local art community. In addition to her studio practice, she is passionate about making art accessible to others—hosting private and corporate paint parties, as well as teaching “Acrylics 101” classes to seniors, where she fosters creativity, confidence, and connection through guided instruction.
Through her work and community engagement, Phyllis Kalu continues to use art as a tool for inspiration, education, and meaningful expression.
ABOUT THE ART MINISTRY
The Art Ministry is about providing emerging artists a venue to showcase their work through monthly exhibits in our gallery. Over the years, we have exhibited many parishioners work including painting, photography and mixed media, as well as work by many other local artists. God’s bounty of creation is shared through these diverse and changing exhibits that also include art from Emmaus House and Holy Comforter, art related to the church calendar and visual supports for Adult Education programs. In the case of diocesan groups, they benefit by receiving 100% of any sales. By exhibiting their creative work, other artists receive more exposure and opportunity for sales. Our parish benefits by having interesting work that enhances our space and by retaining 25% of any sales.
The work of the ministry includes:
-
finding and scheduling the artists
-
installing their work in our gallery
-
introducing the artist through articles in The Epiphany Star
-
accounting of sales.
At the end of each calendar year, annual profits are distributed toward needs (mostly with a visual component) in the parish as determined by the committee and the Rector. In the past Art Ministry profits have gone to Vacation Bible School, Outreach, new vestments for our clergy and a wireless microphone system for the church.
