Phyllis G. Agne
Phyllis G. Agne considers her work to be "meditative in nature," probing for "inner qualities, or essences."
She studied at the High School of Music and Art in New York; the Brooklyn Museum Art School; the Art Students' League, also in New York; Hunter College; and Columbia University, where she earned her MFA. Agne began teaching art at the Waterbury campus of the University of Connecticut in 1973, and she is now an Emeritus Faculty of that school, having retired from teaching in 1992 to devote herself full-time to her art.
Agne has had several solo shows, including one at the Mattatuck in 1979, and a retrospective exhibit in 1996 at The William Benton Museum of Art, University of Connecticut, Storrs. She has been elected a member of the Women's Caucus for Art, Connecticut Women Artists and the New Haven Paint & Club.
