Greetings! I would like to welcome you to my world through my artwork. Many of you have told me how much my work means to you as you enjoy it in your home or office. My hope and prayer is that my art will bring a message of hope and joy, while providing a peaceful retreat.
Paintings
I began creating art as a textile designer and then as a water-colorist. Today I also create a lot of mixed media pieces with watercolor. In the mixed media pieces, I use quite a few different papers that I’ve collected over the years; some are handmade. I paint and dye most of them both before and after adding them to a piece of art. In the last couple of years, I’ve also added more line work to my paintings. I have been an artist for many years and watercolor is still my love; there is nothing like seeing the colors mingle with water to give surprising and vivid results.
Jewelry
I hope you enjoy viewing my jewelry creations as much as I enjoy designing and creating them. I use glass, ceramic, wood, stone, textiles, metals and paper in The Neufeld Collection of jewelry creations. As an artist, these materials open the door to a very challenging creative process. I often mix several of these elements to create a truly unique piece of art. Keep an eye out for new additions to my jewelry line – pieces from The Neufeld Collection are timeless, versatile pieces of wearable art!
I hope you’ve enjoyed browsing my website. I plan to chat with you a couple times a week, so please let me hear from you!
Thank you for the visit,
Phyllis Neufeld

I bought one of your prints and I get more comments about your prints than any other picture in my home. I have had girl friends bring other people over to my home just to look at your print. As I write to you today I am buying an original from your collection. I hope it will be one of many more. I get so much pleasure and a felling of deep peace when I look at your work.
(Phyllis) I hope it’s ok to call you by your first name; I fell like I know who you are as person just by looking at your art. I just want to say THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for the lovely work you do. May God bless you and keep you so that you may continue to provide us with hope and joy in viewing your works of art.

Phyllis, your news page is great! You know I love your artwork, it is so soothing,colorful and uplifting. We love personally knowing the artist of the artwork we enjoy in our home and now you are among those special artists. It is always a “special note” when I use your beautiful note cards to correspond with friends and family. Now I’ve been introduced to your elegantly designed jewelry, your use of special stones and beads makes each of your pieces a work of art. Thank you Phyllis for giving me the opportunity to enrich my life with your creativity.
The best to you, Kathy
Hi Phyllis; Thank you so much for the wonderful art lesson. It was a very relaxing and I really enjoyed the day. You are not only a fantastic artist but a great teacher. I have purchassed some of your paintings and have received many compliments. Your new collection of jewlery is awesome and I am having fun wearing it. Keep creating!!! God has blessed you with so many different gifts but most of all I am so greatful for the blessing of your friendship, Sue
Phyllis,
What an extraordinary talent that God has given you so that you can share it with all of us. I enjoy my rooster placemats so much that I just leave them on the breakfast nook table. The colors are so vibrant and happy and make my table look so festive. I cherish my jewelry, not only because it is an original piece, but the colors are so amazing. I bought the one piece exclusively to go with a yellow top and it looks fantastic, but you mentioned that it would go great with jeans. You were so right. I find that I wear it often with a more casual look. I know my collection of jewelry and art will continue to grow as I know our friendship will also.
You have blessed my life.
Nice!
