If you can walk where no one’s eyes are looking,
And still believe your path is worth the tread;
If you can turn away from louder voices,
And listen to the softer ones instead;

If you can carry antlers not for battle,
But as a crown of wild, untamed grace;
If you can wear your strangeness like a mantle,
And never feel the need to change your face;

If you can let the world define you wrongly,
Yet keep your heart from shrinking in retreat;
If you can know your worth is sung in silence,
And never measured by the crowd’s repeat;

If you can be the rare, the shy, the hidden,
And still stand firm in who you choose to be,
Yours is the gift of all that’s yet unspoken,
The spirit of the wild, untamed, and free.

Get to Know The Austin Artist:
Phill’s enthusiasm as an artist is fueled by his love for the complex aspects of urban environments.
Placing the importance of expression at the forefront of each piece, he is guided by the desire to create authentic experiences of place. He challenges the connotations of place and argues that is more than a synonym for location, offering instead that it is a unique ensemble of nature and culture.
