Bill Long is a military veteran who graduated from UTK with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1974. Throughout his life he has been a practicing artist and an avid music fan, while raising his two sons.
Since Bill’s retirement as owner of a custom sign business in his hometown, he has dedicated his time to exploring the more creative aspects of artistic expression. Inspired by his frequent travels into the depths of Appalachia he has created dozens of creative interpretations of the many pristine, beautiful mountain creeks he has encountered along the way. These works are the culmination of his prolific work in natural realism.
