Philippe Guillerm began his professional life in Paris, France where he was born in the late 1950s. He has traveled around the world on his forty-eight foot sailboat, the YaYa, with his wife Jacqueline and their two daughters. While cruising in the winter, Phillipe can be found scouting for interesting pieces of driftwood or working on art projects at the Black Pearl Museum in Tahiti, the International airports in Papeete and New Caledonia, and several yacht clubs and restaurants from Brazil to Australia. In warmer weather he also creates new work in his studio and gallery located in a restored 1850s bank in Waldoboro, Maine. Guillerm's music-inspired sculptures are often whimsical and curvaceous stringed instruments. His works inspires dreams, illusions, and invite the viewer to stop and reflect on the music in human nature. He uses this continuous theme as a way of expressing human nature and needs; you may see an instrument, but Philippe sees an attitude. In addition to the musical theme, many of hissculptures depict sea scenes and animals. Philippe's work is exhibited in Mary Martin Gallery in Charleston, SC.
