Philip Parisi’s watercolors have appeared in numerous juried exhibitions of the Utah Watercolor Society and have won several awards for his entries in exhibitions sponsored by the Cache Valley Chapter of the Utah Watercolor Society. His works include cityscapes from his travels abroad (Italy, Greece, Malta), as well as Utah landscapes.
His artistic goal is to communicate the striking presence of his subjects, whether they are the illuminated crags of the Wasatch Mountains or the colorful, but well-worn, fishermen’s empty boats bobbing in the port of Palermo, Sicily, after the day’s catch.
Art has been Parisi’s special interest for many years. He has pursued his passion for watercolor during his career as an editor at the Texas Historical Commission in Austin and more recently at Utah State University.
Among his publications, his book The Texas Post Office Murals: Art for the People (Texas A&M University Press, 2005), was selected as second place winner of the Texas Institute of Letters’ annual award for outstanding books about Texas.
