Bill Adams
2D – At the urging of his mother in 1975, Bill reluctantly picked up one of her brushes and began to paint a small picture on a small canvas board. Immediately he was hooked and that very day purchased everything required (he thought) to start painting. Since that time Bill’s artwork has grown in size and are now large, bold, acrylic landscapes and florals. A true realist painter, he have always been in high demand and he has known great success with his artwork both through artwork displayed in galleries and through many commissioned pieces.

She enjoys creating work that can be appreciated for its form, colour and feel but also used and enjoyed everyday around the home
