Biography
Born in the Midwest in 1947, Bill Schenck attended the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio from 1965-1967. He then transferred to the Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1969. Following the dream of many young American artists, Schenck headed for New York where he found himself in the midst of the New York art scene, dominated at the time by such artists as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
Schenck’s work incorporates techniques from Photo-Realism with a Pop Art sensibility that both exalts and pokes fun at images of the West. He currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
