Commander Rex Phillips was born in the fens of Cambridgeshire. Educated at the Nautical College, Pangbourne, he entered the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1949 and subsequently served for 34 years with much of that time in Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers and Aircraft Carriers. He is now a full time artist using both oil and water colour, and although without formal art training, his many years experience at sea as a Navigating Officer, sailing over most of the seas and oceans of the world, have provided a wealth of material and professional background from which to draw.
He exhibited over many years at the Royal Society of Marine Artists' annual exhibition in London was a member of the Armed Forces Art Society. His works can be found in collections in America, France, Norway, Australia and Holland as well as in the UK, including those at the RN Museum, naval establishments, the RNLI and other institutions. His primary subjects were marine, both contemporary and historical, also including landscapes.
