Fine art with a designer’s mind.
By Bollman is the creative studio of Bill Bollman, an accomplished, award-winning designer whose creative journey spans over 35 years. What began as a young artist’s dream has evolved into a full-circle return to fine art — where vision, discipline, and passion intersect.
Drawing on decades of experience as a multi-disciplinary designer, Bill brings a refined, intuitive skill set to his work as a visual artist. This rich design background allows him to express the intangible — those fleeting emotions, abstract ideas, and subtle nuances that defy words — through striking illustration and painting.
Working in a modern cubist style, Bill’s art explores the relationships between people, places, and things. His pieces reflect a deep curiosity and a unique ability to see form and meaning from unexpected angles.
Whether through illustration or painting, Bollman’s work invites viewers to pause, reflect, and rediscover the beauty in everyday moments — filtered through a lifetime of design insight and artistic exploration.
