William Boddy Studied one year at The University of Colorado, Boulder
CO (one winter was enough) three years at The university of California
in Los Angeles, and one year at Sacramento State College. His art emphasis in school was three  dimensional art, ie. sculpting and jewelry. After leaving school William spent ten years working with different ad and design agencies as an artist while moonlighting as a bass player musician. Because of his experience with the agencies his art medium had become almost exclusively paint (acrylic, watercolor and oil based)

" With these thirty plus years under my belt as a painter I am able
like a jazz musician to stretch and push the limits, and at the same
time stay within the framework of a representational
image-idea-composition."
