In this website you will find galleries of artwork done by myself over the last few years. You will see that I generally have two distinct styles; whimsical and realistic.
I
consider myself to be a self-taught artist since I have never had any
formal training. I constantly view other artists work and study the
masters. I believe that artists learn best by observation and by
developing a style unique to themselves.
I am inspired by nature and people. I love the beauty of this planet and
can never find enough time to put down on paper everything that excites
me. I am in awe when I look at the work of such artists as Seurat,
Wyeth, O'Keefe, Escher and others too many to list. I am a new immigrant
to the U.S. and I have discovered a wealth of inspiration all around me
for future pieces.
I have been a professional artist since the moment I sold my first
drawing to a classmate in the fourth grade for 75 cents. Although, I am
happy to say that sales have improved since then!
My artwork has been added to private collections throughout the world
but most can be found in Canada, the United States of America, the
United Kingdom and Australia. Some of my work has been signed under my
maiden name of Spyth but all current and future pieces will be signed
Willard.
