Mr. Willis will show examples of his his paintings and speak about his working process and life as an artist. Exhibiting extensively in the United States and Europe since 1969, Willis is in most major public and corporate collections (including The Maslow Collection @ Marywood University). He is represented by the Elizabeth Harris Gallery in New York.
