Phobias

A phobia is an excessive and irrational fear reaction. If you have a phobia,

you may experience a deep sense of dread or panic when you encounter
the source of your fear. The fear can be of a certain place, situation, or
object. The impact of a phobia can range from annoying to severely
disabling. People with phobias often realize their fear is irrational, but
they’re unable to do anything about it.

 Ablutophobia - Fear of washing or bathing.

 WONDERFUL ART
It is through art that we can communicate to the world our inner feelings and our
creativity that only exists within our minds. Art has many forms from visual arts to
performing arts. Philip Carey communicates with his art too and he is great at it!

The work of California artist Philip Carey can be described as being autobiographical, colorful,
intricate, and strange - which describes the artist himself.  Carey lives in a cottage in the small
fishing village of Morro Bay, California – a place he has loved since childhood. Here he has
created an extensive cactus and succulent garden, and surrounds himself with his many
collections of unusual objects that often find their way into his art such as “Thirty-five Years of
Meeting Notes,” and “Ten Years Messages on Philip’s Voice Mail, etc. Carey’s life-size sculpture,
“Art in My Veins,” was exhibited for a year at the American Visionary Art Museum, Baltimore
Maryland and in June, 2013 he won “Best in Show” in the “Lost But Not Forgotten” exhibit at the
Bakersfield Museum of Art.  In 2014 he was designated an “ArtPrize” artist in Grand Rapids,
Michigan and his newest large collage “One day I put my artwork in the trailer…,” won “The
People’s Choice Award” in the invitational/juried show “Dimensions” at the San Luis Obispo
Museum of Art in 2018.
