Of the over 400 artistic prints he has rendered during his career thus far, around 300 have depicted current and historic New Orleans and its environs.

Producing his artwork from his own Rivendell Studio in Folsom, Louisiana, Mr. Sage distributes his work through his website phillipsage.com and welcomes in-person customers. In addition, he teaches quality printmaking at St. Joseph Abbey in Covington, Louisiana. Besides his printmaking career, Mr. Sage is an avid equestrian and polo player.

Mr. Sage intends to keep working as long as he is physically able.
