Phoebe Ploom
== Phoebe Ploom was born in Philadelphia in 1961. She is an American painter. While always drawn to the arts, she didn't begin painting in earnest until her early forties. As a mental health nurse, she incorporated portraiture painting into client therapy, to encourage expression of self and world views. Eventually, she began using paintings to depict her ancestry through Folk art. As the descendant of Negro slaves, a great deal of her paintings use mixed media to illustrate the day to day existence as well as the horrors of their reality. Working in acrylic, oil, paper and canvas, each person can relate to the families, the hard workers and the toll of human suffering her simple paintings render. ==
