Bill Coedy
Although I have spent a lifetime being any scientist, I enjoy using the “other” side of my brain for artistic expression. It seems that I have been classified as a folk painter as many of my artworks depict a historical event. I like to mix art with science, trying new techniques and teaching those to others. Cell Painting is a nice example. When I’m not painting I am cooking and love a spicy pad thai.
Bill teaches our Visual Exploration Club 13+ group.
