Artist - Bill Monthan

Artist Statement
Recently, I have been working with oil paint to create scenes that range from representative to whimsically surreal. I most love exploring the different approaches to composition, use of color, light, and the reflection of light in my work. My inspiration comes from the beauty we witness daily. I attempt to challenge myself to represent my subject in the light that enhances a timeless quality. The more I am able to work with this medium and these concepts, the larger the world becomes.
