Hello,

I’m Bill Mathis, principal artist and owner of WM Creative Art. I’m currently based in Seaford Virginia - a quiet town, surrounded by the waters feeding Chesapeake Bay, and lying in the heart of early American history.

I’ve been asked - what inspires me? - Put simply -

The Universe.

The things we can see, things too far and too vast to see, and things that are too small or uncertain to see.

It amazes and inspires me to realize that which is very abstract in appearance was actually something as real as the swirling of water in an ocean wave, or the clouds of Jupiter, or millions of stars like ours rising in the east every morning.

I like to call this "Abstract Realism”, and the possibilities are endless. I strive to “learn, grow, change and evolve” I've discovered genres and variations in techniques and color palettes that I experiment with in search of my own styles, methods, and creations. This is an ongoing passion of mine. I hope you'll see this reflected in both the range of ways I express my art as well as how it has, and will continue to evolve with time.

In my work your eyes may see nothing more than colors, shapes and textures that are completely abstract to you. Others will see something real to them - maybe a fish, or a mountain, or a dancing person. Sometimes in my work you'll be able to see the very real object that has been abstracted by the way I've captured and expressed it to you - like the stamen of a flower in close up. Everything I create is an abstraction in some way, but what is real?, and what is abstract? - well my friends - that's entirely up to your own imagination!

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
