Although he would become best known for his color woodcuts, Walter J. Phillips (1884–1963) was already an acclaimed watercolorist by the time he immigrated to Canada in 1913. Travels around his adopted homeland provided both inspiration and subject matter, and his watercolors reflect his sensitivity to the environment.
Phillips was born in England, where he trained as an artist and supported himself with commercial work during his early twenties before beginning his long career as a teacher. In 1940 he was invited to become a resident artist at the Banff School of Fine Arts (now the Banff Centre). He taught there for more than twenty years and was significant to the development of its visual arts program. The Banff Centre’s Walter Phillips Gallery, which showcases contemporary art, opened in 1976 and is named in his honor.
The four watercolors presented in this notecard set are in the collection of Glenbow Museum, Calgary, Alberta.

About Us
ZANDBROZ VARIETY
Since 1989
In 1988, Jeff and Greg Danz had a dream. They would open a store that they would want to shop. So they bought an empty turn of the century building in the heart of downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The brothers spent a year restoring the building and developing the concept for what would become Zandbroz Variety. When the doors opened in May of 1989, Zandbroz was a bookstore with an eclectic mix of other inventory, an old fashioned soda fountain and coffee bar. The store was a hit and a couple of years later a second location was opened in Fargo, ND. Zandbroz Variety started in a world before Barnes and Noble, Starbucks and internet shopping were part of the landscape. That of course all changed and so too Zandbroz has evolved and changed –THIRTY years later and we are still here!
