Landscape of a Tale: The Singing Tree Print

Raised in sunny Southern California, William Lennertz spent his early years in Huntington Beach, CA soaking up sun, sea water, comics, music, and literature. Originally, his creativity steered him to fiction and poetry. He studied writing at California State University, Long Beach and George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. Eventually, he found solace from words in visual art. His work focuses on the interactions of media and content. He interlaces painting with a variety of inks, resins, and collage. His work reflects a 20th century upbringing and a 21st century aesthetic where multiple layers and points of view coexist. It also evokes the serenity and spirituality of abstract expressionism as well as the fleeting world represented by the 21st century's constant stream of incomplete or excessive information.
