Phillip Eric Lichtenhan

Sedona, Arizona then became Phil's home after accepting a teaching position at Verde Valley School, a private boarding school twelve miles from Sedona. Verde Valley School is a self-contained community, secluded and surrounded by acres of forest service land. Phil continued to make art while teaching full- time, running up to Flagstaff often to use the printing facilities at NAU, at the invitation of Bruce Horn, professor of art. While at Verde Valley School Phil was able to dabble in acting and stage design. He directed the on-site Avery Gallery bringing in shows from across the country. He led native American field trips that included developing relationships with the Hopi, Zuni and Navaho people.
