 Bill Szarowicz (charcoal). He will show us his method of producing incredible photographic-like graphic paintings. His portraits and scenes are drawn with a “seeing hand” using masterful strokes of charcoal to evoke space, separate darks from light and tell the unique story that inspired him to create each piece. Well educated, Bill decided to be a missionary in Spanish-speaking countries utilizing his artistic skills in his ministry. In 1976 he was helping resettle Vietnamese refugees in New Orleans and found the city teeming with music, theater and artists and returned to his first love—drawing. Bill opened his own art gallery in the French Quarter of New Orleans where he sold his own artwork as well as paintings by other local artists for 25 years. Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005 wiped out his home, although his gallery survived. With the city in crisis, he decided to close his business and move to be with family in California. |
