First Friday Event

Thanks to everyone who came out to our First Friday event!  Click here to see our photos.  William Elder, art director at  Two West, is currently showing two collections at the studio: Portraits and Illustrations.   

He constructs his portraits with a variety of canvas, medium and subjects allowing the only unifying element to be the artist and his perception.

“I create portraits in three ways: from photographs, live drawing, and from loose sketches. My ideal artistic process allows for a mesh of all three sources.  I have found that personally knowing my portrait subject allows me to draw interpersonal emotion into my painting. A good portrait brings the subject back into our world as even they might not know themselves.” - Bill Elder
