bill swittlinger

  

Bill Swittlinger was born in New Britain, Connecticut and had no real interest in art as a child. He earned a degree in Math Education from Central Connecticut State University in 1968 and taught math in Junior High where he met Marianne. He also coached baseball and soccer. Marianne’s most important influence on Bill was to raise his interest and awareness in fine art. During their travels to the Southwest and other locations, Bill gained an appreciation for fine art and began to assemble found objects into sculptures and then paint them. “Walking the dog along the seashore, I would find things and thought that they looked like other things,” he explains. Like mathematics, Bill could see the spatial relationship between forms and reassemble them. Applying colorful paint to his assemblages makes them come alive.
