About the Artists
Since 1994 William Bock has been recognized as a leading environmental artist. He is referenced in the Blue Book of American Artists. His paintings of marine life, flora and fauna, the everglades and other native surroundings are in numerous collections, both private and corporate. Joined 2 years ago by his wife/photographer, teacher and media specialist, they have traveled and worked together, collaborating on their art.

In the current exhibit the local boundaries of Florida have been extended to the Western United States with focus on the vast landscape and the intricacy of detail found in the mountains and deserts of Utah. On view are singular works by each artist as well as a collaboration of work combining photographic techniques and painting.

A dedication to art and to our environment permeates the paintings and prints of Bock and Sotolongo. Their focus on nature is evident. The spectacular architectural design of a natural ‘arch’ against a brilliant blue sky inspires awe of natural beauty and design. In contrast, the fine detail of multicolored ‘cactus flowers’ shows nature in its infinite variety.
