Dr.
Bill Sabino was born in New York City where he grew to appreciate
many art forms. The ability to translate art appreciation into practical
terms
began at an early age when he began to draw. His first grade teacher
recognized his artistic potential and recommended he attend an art
school. By the time he was nine years old he had created his first
oil painting
and for three years attended Pratt Institutes’ youth art program.
Here he learned drawing, composition and the techniques of art. Upon
high school graduation and a stint in the Marine Corps he entered Pratt
Institutes’ Fine Arts Program. In the mid 1960’s he exhibit
his art in New Your City and became president of the Pan American Art
Club. Later family responsibilities caused him to take a hiatus from
his involvement in the art world and it was not until the late 1990’s
that he began again painting in oil and water mediums. Since that time
he has not only been involved in expanding his own art career but has
assisted as Treasurer and Vice-president of the Tidewaters Artists’ Association.
Further he has chaired or assisted in many art openings helping others
to achieve their goals. His art has been displayed in a variety of
juried shows, including miniature and portfolio shows. Presently his
work is
in display at galleries in Richmond, the Tidewater areas of Virginia
and Palm Beach. Florida.
Artist Statement: The most important thing to me, because of the kind of artist
I am, is to see life creatively, the way it appears though my eyes. I use this
visual experience to express my artistic talent. First I look for line, which
shapes and gives depth to my work. Next is light, that forms contrast and brings
life to the shapes. Last is color that evokes mood and harmony to an image. My
art, at its best, is well composed, full of feeling and brings pleasure to the
viewer.
