The only son of an artist father, William Whitaker's fondest memories are of sights, sounds and smells of the art studio. William had access to the finest art materials and was painting in watercolor and oil at the young age of six. The art world of his youth was the brave new world of abstract expressionism and until he was well out of college, his natural inclination to draw accurately and his l...see more »ove for traditional realism was a source of inner conflict. William received a thorough grounding in academic figure drawing and painting from the portrait painter Alvin Gittins at the University of Utah. A professional artist since 1965, he also has been a university art professor, conducted art workshops, and works with advanced students. William always comes back to the studio, no matter what direction his art takes him. Believing the value of painting is to be found in its spiritual power, Whitaker takes quiet comfort in lovingly capturing something the camera cannot see.« see less
"To Whom It May Concern:
Allow me to take a minute to thank you for the framed print I recently
received from Art Passions. Shopping with your company was a wonderful
experience.
The person I spoke to in your customer service department was friendly,
professional, and extremely helpful. I wish I could remember her name. She
is to be commended. I can tell you that I commented on her "Michigan accent"
as I was born in Detroit. I told her that talking to her reminded me of my
Michigan relatives.
Sincerely,
Chris Hubersberger"
