Bill Sortino

For many of us working in the arts, we do not choose this life as one might choose a profession to work within. It is not that one cannot do anything else, it is just that the only thing that motivates and expresses the truth of life for me is the creative process; everything else flows through that.

I try to make my work express my truth and, within that, create fluid visions of my interpretation of what I experience through the senses. My work is about this truth and the developing themes in my life. I feel there is not a beginning, nor is there a true ending; there is just this process! The work, like most non-objective art, really has no place in time. I do not want to have my work trapped in any one particular time or space because it just reflects where I am in the creative process.
