Jane Philips MFA 2023 and Chubb Fellows 2024

Jane Philips, a Brooklyn-based painter, delves into the interplay between nature and anxiety, drawing on the imagery of her Gulf Coast childhood to evoke profound inner landscapes.

The Chubb Fellowship is the highest honor the Academy bestows on its graduates, combining intensive studio work, in-depth personal study, teaching experience and mentorship, so that Fellows can both grow as artists and foster growth in the community of artists around them. The Fellows receive studio accommodations, exhibition opportunities, and a stipend. In December of this year, they will exhibit work at Chubb’s Loungein the Art Basel Miami Beach Collector’s Lounge.

For the first time, the Chubb Fellows cohort includes four artists instead of the usual three. Academy President David Kratz explains, “Each year, the Chubb Fellows are chosen with the help of a panel of experts and advisors, including a rotating member from the Board of Trustees. In 2024, Sharon Jacob, a trustee since 2016, was invited to participate in the selection process. When voting resulted in a tie among several candidates, Sharon’senthusiasm and determination prevailed. The Jacob family agreed to sponsor a fourth Fellow this year, with Chubb’s support. Sharon’s passion and dedication to the school are truly invaluable.”
