Collage artist Phyllis Stone Aliber was born in Connecticut and is a lifelong resident of New England. After raising a family and completing a liberal arts college program in mid-life, she began her journey in art.

Her imaginative collages enable her to combine a lifetime interest in textures, lettering, and graphics, with a romance of paper. Her abstract images begin spontaneously and give expression to personal creativity and insight. The contemporary work lends itself to differing interpretations and emotions. Each piece is unique in design, blending, as it does, hand-made and printed papers, fabric, and other "found" materials, in a fusion of color and texture.

Her creativeness manifests itself also in her career as a freelance writer. She has been pursuing the dual interests, both of which speak to filling blank spaces, for over two decades.

During 25 years in Vermont, the artist's work was exhibited in several solo and group juried gallery shows, including the National Collage Society's annual exhibit. A collage, "Seasons", was elected as a finalist in The Artist's Magazine's 1994 All-media art competition. Other pieces have been recognized in various national competitions. Her work is also in many private collections.
