William R. Balch
Galeria Chisos, Terlingua
979.338.9468 • [email protected]
I work in acrylics, gouache, and watercolor. The
Chihuahuan Desert is my inspiration. The subtle,
continuous changes of light and texture inspire an
impressionistic style, particularly when painting en
plein air. My art is representational, but I will
exaggerate geometries and colors according to the
way I interpret what I see.
