North Report

In this powerful episode of North Port Stories, we sit down with Phillip and Michele Moore of Images of Therapy to explore the transformative power of art.Phillip shares the deeply personal story behind his Art of War series, offering a raw look at how art has helped him process trauma, cope with PTSD and navigate life as a veteran and artist. As someone who is colorblind, Phillip experiences the world differently—interpreting it through light and shadow rather than a traditional spectrum. His work, which he describes as “relentless colors,” reflects memory, emotion and experience in a way that is both striking and deeply human.Together, Phillip and Michele discuss how art can go beyond creative expression to become a meaningful tool for healing, resilience and survival.This is a story about perspective, strength and the many ways people find their path forward.
