Book Phil Hansen, Creativity Speaker
About This Speaker
Phil Hansen is an internationally recognized multimedia artist, speaker, author, and innovator. His fans call him “the Artist for the People.” He works at the intersection of traditional art, electronic media, offbeat materials, and interactive experiences — crashing irreverently through conventional boundaries to bring art to a wider audience.
He is most widely known for his meta-art: videos that document the creation process, sometimes even through destruction. They show millions that art is action, not just result. Hansen’s work also extends into traditional media, with features on the Discovery Channel, Good Morning America, the Rachael Ray Show, Last Call with Carson Daly, Glamour, and many more. His work is sought-after by influential clients including the Grammy Awards, Disney, Skype, Mazda, and the Rockefeller Foundation.
For the tens of millions who have seen Phil’s art on TV and online, it’s hard to imagine his artistic journey nearly came to an end. A tremor developed in his drawing hand. In exploring new ways to create, Phil discovered that by embracing his shake, limitations could become a passageway to creativity.
His inspirational story was first shared on the TED stage to a standing ovation, then around the world on PBS, BBC, and CCTV. Phil’s ability to draw parallels to the business setting has since won him followers among industry and business leaders. This has led to invitations to speak at the TED2013 conference, Adobe MAX Creativity Conference, World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, and the Million Dollar Round Table.
