Highlight
I first met Bill in an esoteric bookstore in Manhattan. We talked about Fred
Wolfe's book The Eagle's Quest which related physics and shamanism. Bill was
originally a mechanical engineer and a jet pilot. Bill is prolific. He
I like the way Bill uses the word "astonishing" all the time. I sense a definite optimism to Bill and his work. In many but not all of Bill's paintings, Bill seems to have "gone somewhat away" as the painter and as a result incredible spiritual type beings seem to emerge on the canvas from some other place.
Deeper
Art critics and dealers haven't given Bill tremendous attention and I think it is because they find something missing in his work. I think what they find missing is any familiar kind of art theory. I think when critics shifted the focus of the art world to art theory that in a sense they took art off the gold standard. The value of a painting for me is not in its relation to some abstract idea or standard. Art like ancient money was valuable because it had some kind of spiritual value. I have seen Bill's painting process open up to spiritual values and the animate results come flowing through on the canvas.
