Bill creates many of his paintings from his personal experiences. Influenced by his father at an early age, Bill spent much of his life hunting. He still believes responsible hunting is part of “nature’s balance,” an equilibrium determined by the Creator who placed us and all the creatures and plants on this planet. Bill believes that, as the intelligent species, we need to cherish as well as use the resources given to humanity. He attempts to convey through his art an awareness of his experiences in the world of nature. His portrayals of wildlife in their natural surroundings engaging in their activities without human interventions, are the product of his many ventures throughout the Western United States.
