Milwaukee art festival juror Bill DeLindAlternate Juror: William DeLind (Bill)

Bill came to Milwaukee after graduating from Michigan State University. Here he found his true calling and love, becoming an art dealer. In the 42 years he's owned his business Bill moved it 9 times...each time to a better location. Now located in the George Watts & Son building, on the corner of Jefferson and Mason Streets, he recalls a conversation with the late George Watts who told him 25 years ago, that this corner was "the best retail corner in the state of Wisconsin".

The gallery is eclectic. Featured are paintings, drawings and sculptures from the 19th and 20th century, Antique French posters, and select artworks from outstanding regional and area artists.

In the 1970's Bill made several trips to Barbizon, France, about 40km south of Paris where he gained an even greater appreciation for the artists of the 19th century that first went out of doors, and painted ‘en plein air'. Walking the trails in the Fontainebleau Woods, and the surrounding country side where Corot, Courbet, Rousseau, Diaz, and other notable artists walked and painted instilled an even greater perspective and appreciation for the style. Long ago Bill became friends with the Pissarro family, whose artworks have often been featured prominently in his gallery.

Because of his love and knowledge of Plein Air artworks, Bill has been invited to judge numerous Plein Air shows and competitions. In his spare time he is very active in his Masonic Lodge, in Scottish Rite Masonry, he loves gardening, collecting wine, theater and gourmet cooking.
