Phil Epp, born August 28, 1946, in Henderson, Nebraska, is an American artist known for his paintings, murals, prints and sculpture.
Low horizons broken by wild horses or agricultural buildings, saturated blue skies, and stylized clouds are typical of Epp's easel paintings, often rendered in acrylic.
Epp, who was raised in the Mennonite church, enjoyed art from a young age and began formal art studies at the Mennonite-affiliated Bethel College (Kansas) in 1965 under the tutelage of Bob Regier, Paul Friesen, and Mike Almanza.
After his college career was interrupted by alternative government service during the Vietnam era draft, he graduated in 1972.
Following graduation, Epp taught art in the Newton, Kansas public schools for 30 years, retiring in 20 "03.
