Bill Willis
Totally Okay

Bill Willis’ exhibition, Totally Okay, includes genre paintings whose sources include vintage cook books and images taken from his friend’s social media feeds to assemble an aggregate social and lifestyle fantasy. Willis’ works often embed a sly sense of humor into depictions of mundane subjects, resulting in sincere works that contemplate scenes from his internet searches and everyday life.

Bill Willis lives and works in Houston, TX. He received his MFA in Painting from the University of Houston and BFA from the University of Texas at Austin. His work has been included in solo and group exhibitions at Art Palace, Houston; Circuit 12 Contemporary, Dallas; Hello Project, Houston; The Joanna, Houston; and Peter Makebish Gallery, New York. He is represented by DEASIL.
