" Welcome to my studio. "
Since her childhood, Phil wanted to paint.
She started as a painter after her studies at the Royal Academy
for Visual Arts in 1963 in The Hague, The Netherlands.
on the Dutch television program "Hoepla".
After that, she was seen nude in
several other performances broadcasted by national television.
From then on, her struggle began.
Phil stopped painting after the hausse her nude appearance caused;
she felt like a misunderstood foreigner."
I wasn't aware of the incredible publicity around my nudity;
I really hated that. It wasn't my goal to be portrayed as a sex object.
I was a performer who wanted to agitate. Nobody understood this".
Finally, she decided to ran away from it all
and bought herself a ticket to New York.
