A successful (city-born) Native American Artist and art student at Glendale College (1978-80) and Arizona State (1981-83), Will acquired a deep appreciation for the challenge of oil painting and the great legacy of artists in history who produced iconic works of art without the convention of portable camera technology. With his ties to Native American traditions his art became more fluent and awakened an interest and philosophy and a determination to paint more natural subjects through direct observation.
