თომას ფილიპსი, დაიბადა 1770 წელს ვორსტერშირში, დედლის ქალაქ დუდლიში. ის თავიდან არც თუ ისე გამოჩენილი იყო ბრიტანეთის სამხატვრო სცენაზე მოგვიანებით, მაგრამ მალევე გახდა მნიშვნელოვანი ფიგურა XIX საუკუნის ბოლო და ადრეულ წლებში. მისი პირველი სამხატვრო მომზადება არ იყო ტრადიციული живопись-ის ჩარჩოებში, არამედ კლასიკური стъклопис-ის ხელობა ფრენსისი ეგინგტონის სახელოსნოში ბირმინგჰემში. ამ საწყისმა

ვესტის წარდგენით, იმ დროის ერთ-ერთი მთავარი მხატვრისა და სამეფო აკადემიის ძირითადი ფიგურის მიერ. ვესტის ხელმძღვანელობით ფილიპსიმ შესაძლებლობა მიიღო მონაწილეობა წმინდა გიორგის კაპელის витражи-ის ნახატებში უინდზორის ციხესიმაგრეში - პროექტი, რომელმაც საშუალება მისცა მას გაამდიდრას თავისი უნარები დიდ არქიტექტურულ კონტექსტში. ადრეული გამოცდილებამ მას უ doubtვად შექმნა კომპოზიციური მგრძნობელობა და
