Costa Brava Painting

Inspired by mid-twentieth century monochrome photography and found objects, William seeks to create bold visual stories which hold a strong sense of ambiguous narrative and intrigue, ranging in theme from the socially historic to the surreal. William produces original paintings and drawings, as well as scaled-down high quality framed art prints of his work - all of which can be purchased directly from this website. As well as continuously producing original works, it is also possible to request a private commission. William also established Gateshead Open Studios in 2018 - the very first open studios event in the area. Following a similar model to Ouseburn’s Open Studios, this event differed slightly in that it also included historical & cultural venues - as Gateshead has a rich history of grand churches & Quaker houses well worth exploring. Despite the recent events of the COVID-19 pandemic and needing to cancel the 2020 event, the hope is to resume in 2021 if all goes well
