Willard Bond "Paints the Wind"
Fellow Emeritus/American Society Marine Artists

Since 1994, renowned marine artist Willard Bond has made available one of his iconic sailing images for hospice regattas to use. Hospice regattas have benefited directly and indirectly, using these vibrant images on posters, t-shirts and other commemorative items.

Few artists can effectively portray the power and dramatic excitement of racing sailboats. Willard Bond paints in bold strokes of brilliant watercolor or oil, and both avid sailors and veteran visual artists are impressed with the result. In this art of the sea, as Bond calls his work, he captures the thrill of speeding movement in a fantastic celebration of painterly technique.

Willard Bond has had many experiences in his colorful career. After serving in the Navy during WWII, he moved on to theater work in Manhattan and then built geodesic domes inspired by Buckminster Fuller in Jamaica with the Peace Corps.Throughout his diverse experiences, painting remained Bond's consuming and enduring passion. In the late 1970 s, his work hit a new level of success. For the first time, he painted large watercolors of modern racing yachts. These paintings launched Bond into an elite band of marine artists, sought by serious collectors throughout the world.

With his artwork in demand, Willard Bond enjoys his life, his work, his dog, and the opportunities each day brings. Born in the Pacific Northwest in 1926, he now lives on a mountaintop in New York state. He also spends a great deal of time travelingto sell his work at galleries and boat shows, and relishes the chance to sail with friends.
