     Although I have a degree in Education from Marywood College, with very nearly a second major in studio art, and though I’ve picked up a lot over the years in painting workshops, studying mainly with Betty Lou Schlemm, but also with Serge Hollerbach, Carl Schmalz, Charles Movalli, Claude Croney,  Charles Reid,  and Carlton Plummer...and though I’ve studied drawing and artistic anatomy at the Art Students’ League with Gustav Rehberger and Terence Coyle...if asked, I would say I’m a self-taught artist.  I came across something that reinforces that notion, something that Frank Webb, a fellow Pennsylvanian and a watercolorist and teacher with a generous mind, said:  “Every artist is self-taught.  You don't become a painter by graduating from a system of lessons, but by drawing and painting.” 

 

Bill teaches watermedia workshops for Coastal Maine Art Workshops and other organizations, and serves on the board of the American Watercolor Society.

 He is represented by The Landing Gallery, Rockland, Maine and Woodbury, Long Island, New York.
