About "The Souk Qatar"

I worked in the Middle East for one and a half years and was fascinated by the way of life of the local people. I particularly found the market places or the Souks, as they are known, most interesting. What I found most inspiring was the quality of light of these regions. This light had a direct influence on my use of color which became more vibrant, lighter and contrasting.

About Bill

I completed a fine arts degree, majoring in painting. I have taught art for a number of years and have now decided and explore avenues which have fascinated me for some time.
My work has always been of a social political nature and more recently I have become more interested in the roll of African women in their culture groups through-out Africa. They are the back bone of a society where they full fill many functions. I understand the dignity of these traditional women who depend on a living land, unthreatened by technology.
Having worked in the Middle East for some time i enjoyed the souks and market place of Africa and enjoy the vibrancy and colour of these trading places

I have sold paintings from the Ricmond Gallery in London where I worked for a year. More recently I have exhibited on two occasions with the Howick Arts Society in Howick.
