My name is Bill Woolf. I am a painter, photographer, and film-maker…and I like to travel. Travel moves one in many ways…it opens up the mind giving it a flexible mentality…it lets you see how different people and cultures survive on this vast globe…it helps one to interpret the world by understanding others and their different lives. My art shows this diverse world, its landscapes, both natural and human-made…and its people.
I received a B.A. Degree (with honors) and a M.S. Degree from The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. I obtained my Ph.D. from Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. I was a college professor and a practicing psychotherapist. Over these years I also studied art and photography at The Ohio State University, The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and as art started to occupy all my life I returned to school for an M.F.A. in Studio Art which I received from The Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida. I taught painting and drawing in the United States and Italy. I was the Dean of Students at an Art Insitute in Florence, Italy before moving to Sardinia, where I currently live. I presently split my time between Sardinia, Ohio, and traveling, while continually painting, drawing, filming landscapes, and making books.
