Creative Thresholds 
William’s work is nuanced and memorable. Thank you for this. I am a lover of illustration and his paintings add a dimension that evokes more than the eye can encompass in one viewing. It is so much more than realism and yet this is here as well, in ways that invites us in. Up close. Something we need… extraordinary work.
