Phil Capen Born in 1940 in northern Michigan, Phil Capen developed an interest in art early in life, learning the basics from his father. After graduating with a B. A. degree in Chemistry, Capen’s artistic talents lay dormant while he pursued a career in industrial chemistry in Pennsylvania and Michigan. Phil In 1969, after earning his teaching credentials, Capen and his wife, Rosemary, moved their three young children to St. Croix in the U.S Virgin Islands. There he taught chemistry and revived his artistic talents studying under Charles Hawes (AWS) at The College of the Virgin Islands. "I wanted paintings from the island but couldn’t afford to buy a Hawes original, so decided to paint some myself." In 1972 Capen and his family returned to Kalamazoo, Michigan where he continued to teach during the school year and pursue his art during summer vacations. In 1978, the Capens settled in South Florida. The next year he resigned his teaching position and launched his full-time art career.

The Capens have a vacation home on Green Turtle Cay, where they presently live for several months each year. At his island retreat Capen paints with a view of the ocean to the east and Abaco Sound to the west. Capen has the gift of making each detail in his paintings look true-to-life while maintaining a soft feel. He is a master at detail while showing exceptional skill in composition, color, and balance.

Giclee on Paper 6 H x 13 W Thousands of private collectors treasure their Phil Capen art, and many corporations, including Disney and Burger King, have added Capen originals to their collections. On three different occasions Capen’s work has been included in the catalog of the "top one-hundred" paintings of the "Art for the Parks" annual contest sponsored by the U.S. National Parks. He is an exhibiting member of the American Artists Professional League, Inc., and the International Society of Marine Painters. In the early 1980’s, because of the overwhelming demand for Capen’s work, he began publishing his art as limited edition prints. Over 70 images have been reproduced in editions of 750 to 1750; many of which have completely sold out. Until 1998 these prints were available only as offset lithographs, but with the coming of new technology all of Capen’s reproductions for the foreseeable future will be reproduced with even greater fidelity as Giclees (high quality computer generated digital art prints).
