Fine artist, painter, of botanical realism. Foliage and floral works. Previously 25-yr. illustrator and graphic artist for the Birmingham News in Alabama. Botanical garden enthusiast (such as that goes). My paintings provide a setting for floral and/or foliage exploration while honoring man's stewardship of botanical cultivation. This pursuit affords a more personal means to partake in nature and show my gratitude. -The middle name is pronounced Coke-Lee (old English). Website: williamthomasart.com
