Juried by artist - William Mitchell

Bill Mitchell portrays in his brightly colored serigraph (silkscreen) prints places that for him hold special beauty and meaning. He grew up in Catskill, NY, but has made New Hampshire his home for nearly 40 years. He has two sons and lives in Dover with his wife Mary. 
Bill received his B.A. from the State University College at Oneonta, NY, later studied at the Boston Museum School, and in 2007 completed graduate studies at the University of New Hampshire receiving a Master’s degree in Education. Bill juried into the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 1991. For the League he serves as a print media juror where he enjoys meeting prospective printmakers and discussing their work. He has made commissioned prints for New Hampshire Public Television, The New Hampshire Sierra Club and the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. His limited-edition holiday greeting cards are included in the James Mullen Holiday Collection within the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum. For many years, Bill taught art at Pittsfield Middle High School. He continues to share his passion for art as a workshop leader and printmaking teacher for children and adults.
