Born and growing-up in Baltimore Maryland, Phillip Snead always had an interest in working with his hands and creating unique objects out of various household materials at an early age. Encouraged by teachers, friends and family, especially his Aunt and Uncle (both of whom are alumni of the Maryland Institute College of Art), his creativity soon developed into painting.

Phillip is a man of many talents. He attended building and renovation school, studied interior design and later attended school to become a barber stylist. Phillip became licensed as a Master Barber and owns his barbershop, " Tight Image" located in Downtown Baltimore. In March 2000, Delegate Jeff Paige officially cited Phillip for his achievement of opening a new business in the heart of Baltimore's business district.

Salvador Dali is one of Phillip's greatest inspirations, which explains his ability to captivate and create a scenario visually on canvas. Phillip has become a skilled artist and has developed his own art company, "Rare Imaje".

Phillip's work is mind altering, eclectic and different. Prepare yourself for Phillip Snead.

"The signature is unmistakable."
