Born and raised on Long Island, William Horan is an emerging artist, chiefly employing the use of oils and acrylics to express a truly unique vision. After bouncing around between jobs and trying to find his place in society, William found a true passion in art. Struggling with many internal demons, he began painting for therapeutic reasons several years ago and has not been able to put down the brush since, constantly thinking up and working on new projects, usually tackling dark, obscure, and sometimes disturbing subject matter. Although lacking formal artistic education, William was able to take advantage of an excellent arts program in Bay Shore High School, and, with the help of some very attentive, passionate, and talented educators, he was able to develop his craft.
