Visual Artist

Bill has always had a great love for painting and his natural gift allowed him to continue his education on scholarship to the Layton School of Art, now the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. He went on to further his education in the fine arts at the University of Wisconsin–La  Crosse, where he was awarded an honorary Fine Arts Degree in December of 2010.

Throughout his career, Bill has worked consistently in his Nashville studio, producing commissioned paintings and adding to his body of work, which may be shown in conjunction with his performing and speaking engagements. His drawings and paintings have shown and sold in public art galleries and held in private collections across the U.S.

He is also one of the original contributors  to the world-renowned “Trail of the Painted Ponies,“ with his “Ghost Horse,” benefiting charities throughout New Mexico. His painting allows a unique focus and freedom to both honor and give back to his community.
