William Rolig
WILLIAM ROLIG — William Rolig studied art at York Academy Arts, York, PA and Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD, majoring in painting. He also studied with Ann Didusch Schuler and Albert Handel concentrating on pastel portrait painting. In the late 1970’s he served as Artist in Residence in Prince George’s County, MD, teaching painting workshops and created several large public murals for the “Art for Public Places” program. He has exhibited in galleries and shows throughout the Mid-Atlantic. His work is in many private collections here and abroad.
Throughout William’s 30 year career his creative paintings have focused on mostly architectural themes in the tradition of Edward Hopper. “I try to bring attention to the beauty of natural sunlight and the play of reflected light in shadow on common, everyday scenes. It all seems to happen in the shadows.” His images are specific places that have touched or inspired him in some way either through the light at that moment or just an intuitive feeling that grabs his attention.
