About the artist: One of America's most popular and respected artists, William Mangum is building a wide reputation among collectors of fine art. Mangum has painted professionally since graduating with both a Bachelor and a Masters degree in Fine Art from the University of North Carolina.Mangum describes his style as "realistic expressionism" and, with it, covers an unlimited range of color, moods and seasons. His masterful depth and absorbing use of contrast combine to create the startlingly effective tableaux for which he has become renowned on both sides of the Atlantic. Mangum travels the world in search of inspiration, and has explored England, the Greek Islands, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Bermuda and Hong Kong, as well as his own vast country. His work has achieved such a level of demand that it has been published repeatedly, as limited edition prints, in an elegant book and within art appreciation magazines. A Mangum image creates a mood, a season is touched upon, a color evoked, a chord touched. This is his talent, and he employs it well. Mangum earned his bachelor's and master's of fine art from UNCG. In the past 32 years, he's built a successful career as an artist that has carried him from North Carolina to Italy and back again. He's well known in the United States and has created custom works for some of Europe's most prominent art collectors. Mangum's artistic gift has enabled him to give back to the community. A passionate advocate for the homeless and needy, Mangum's holiday "Honor Card" program has helped raise more than $2.65 million for homeless agencies throughout the state in the past 21 years.
