About The Artist

William Crute began drawing and painting in the 1st grade, where he created murals for upcoming holidays and renderings of historical events in the school halls. He majored in English Literature and continued exploring art. In the 1970’s Crute married and with children, he committed to a full-time job and career. He painted and participated in sidewalk art shows and juried exhibitions.
