Let's meet Bill Lieb and his work!

Bill - "I am preparing new work for my scheduled one-man exhibit at the Pearson's Lakes Art Center this October 14 through December 31, 2010. Most all of my past art pieces have been in the form of pedestal-displayed interior sculpture and large exterior public sculpture."

"Gathering Our Wits"
wall sculpture by William Lieb

"Recently I have been constructing large wall reliefs as part of a series I am calling my 'Cruising Series'...... inspired by a five-year sailboat adventure where Jane and I cruised in our small sailboat from San Diego, California to Ft. Meyer, Florida via the Panama Cannel. Generally the reliefs are each around 5' wide x 3'-8" high x 10" deep and weigh about four pounds. They are constructed of 1/8" thick Baltic birch plywood and are finished with acrylic paints."

Wow! Be sure and visit Bill's upcoming exhibit this year - as well as the Artisans Road Trip!!! You can also view Bill's work on the A.R.T. website or Bill Lieb's website!
