Hello!

About Phyllis Liao Artwork

My name is Phyllis Liao, and I’m a freelance artist based in Portland, Oregon. I specialize in creating vibrant watercolor and gouache paintings that capture the beauty of landscapes, animals, and homes.

​

By day, I work as an engineer, where my approach is logical, methodical, and linear. Art, for me, serves as a natural transition from this structured mindset into a more creative, expansive, and free-flowing way of thinking. I deeply value both of these strengths because they allow me to connect with diverse audiences. My engineering background inspires my attention to the intricate details of buildings and architecture, while my artistry celebrates the fluid movement of water and the ever-changing skies. This blend of precision and creativity fuels my passion for art.

​

I am open to commissions and would love to collaborate with you. You can reach out to me through my “Contact” page. Whether you have questions, ideas, or simply want to chat, I’d be delighted to connect!
