The Seabrook Artist Guild is very excited to have the renowned artist, William P. Duffy back on Seabrook to do both a painting demonstration at their May 2, 2019, monthly meeting (2:00 to 3:30 pm) and a two-day workshop at the Community Center on May 22-23.
His workshop last year filled up quickly and received very positive feedback from all participants!
Bill comes with not only a wealth of experience but a very productive and personal teaching approach.
William P. Duffy was born in Boston in 1948. He received his art education at the School of the Worcester Art Museum/Clark University and the Boston Architectural Center. His work can be found in private collections throughout the United States and in several foreign countries. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Marine Artists, and is a member of New England Plein Air Painters, an artist member of the Copley Society, and a member of the Oil Painters of America in whose 2006 national exhibition Bill was given an Award of Excellence.
From 1993 to the present, Bill has exhibited at the Mystic International Exhibition at the Maritime Gallery at Mystic Seaport. At his first International Show, judged by George Plimpton, founder of the Paris Review, and Stephen Doherty, Editor of American Artist, he received an “Award of Excellence.” In the 1998 Show, judged by James Taylor of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, England, and Peter Sutton, Director of the Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford, CT, Bill was honored with another “Award of Excellence.” Judges Stephen S. Lash, Chairman of Christie’s Americas, John Carter, President of Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia, and Dawn Riley, CEO and Captain of the America’s Cup contender, “America True,” gave Bill the 2004 International Show’s “Award of Excellence”.
