William Hemmerling - A Louisiana Artist

The Influence of southern folk culture and many diverse life experiences are incorporated into the eclectic painting of William Hemmerling. Bill was born in Chicago and moved to Ponchatoula, Louisiana in 1977. Upon retirement in March 2002, he finally found time to paint from the heart. He is an untrained artist, yet his work reflects sophistication and creativity in both subject matter and the use of unusual materials.

His love of people, enthusiasm and humble, "offbeat" nature bring a definite excitement and energy to his folk art.
