MAG May Speaker

Bill Wilson

Bill Wilson was studying to go into the ministry at Belhaven College when he realized that art was his life's calling. He changed majors and graduated with a bachelor's degree in art in 1984, and has not looked back.

Bill loves visual storytelling and looks at everything he does to tell a story, including the portrait painting that has been the bulk of his career for 25 years. While he still paints portraits, he also writes and illustrates children's books. He make art in all manner of mediums, including oils, acrylic, pastel, casein and charcoal.

In 2018, Bill created many paintings of our lovely Capitol. He is the Artist in Residence at the MS Governor's Mansion.
