Born in Ohio and raised in the Southwest, Will Bullas enrolled at Arizona State University and
was majoring in fine arts with a minor in dramatic arts when he was drafted. In Vietnam, his
first professional pieces were pencil portraits of fellow soldiers, which were sent to loved ones
back home. Returning from military duty, he enrolled in the Brooks Institute of Fine Art in
Santa Barbara, California and graduated with a degree in oil painting. With the
encouragement of his wife, Claudia, he then quit his printing press job— reproducing the work
of other artists—and concentrated on his own art. That was the beginning of a yearlong
voyage across the Midwest and Southwest, where Bullas sold his work to many appreciative
art lovers. The couple settled in Carmel, California, where Will's exclusive relationship with
galleries resulted in a growing group of dedicated, enthusiastic collectors. Bullas' work now
graces a wide range of popular products, including high fashion t-shirts, note cards, coffee
mugs and even 100% silk neckwear. His books, a fool and his bunny... and a fool moon...
have been published to acclaim with an introductions by inveterate fans Clint Eastwood and
Doris Day. His vision has taken on further dimension as works of art in porcelain from the
Greenwich Workshop® Collection. Will is illustrating his first book for young people titled, A is
for ART, to be released in the fall of 2006 by Sleeping Bear Press. Will's awards include the
Strathmore Award at the 1981 Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Exhibition, the William G.
Morrison Award from the Adirondacks Exhibition of American Watercolors, the First Place
Award at the 1990 Signature Membership Exhibition of the National Watercolor Society and
the California Watercolor Association's 1997 Silver Medal. He is a proud member of the
American Watercolor Society, the National Watercolor Society and the Knickerbocker Artists
of New York. In 2002, Will was awarded the prestigious Dagmar Tribble Memorial Award by
the American Watercolor Society. Will continues to receive accolades not only for his original
watercolors, but for graphic design in packaging and poster work. Will Bullas and his wife
Claudia live and create in San Francisco.
