William ‘Bill’ Fields is an artist from
Bill's sensitivity to the subject matter is profound and
demonstrates his skill as a visual storyteller. He believes in the inherent
visual intelligence of the viewer. His images are stunningly complicated, using
not just color or monochromes but, depth to give us more than a flat photograph;
the images often feel as if they are three-dimensional. His frames are rarely
static.
Bill subscribes to and practices the concept of Healing Art. Here
are some quotes from him and from others on this subject.
‘The
concept of art as a healing force is becoming part of the national lexicon.’
The Society of the Arts in Healthcare, Annual
Roger Ulrich, Art in Healing 1984,
Deepok Chopra
‘The art of healing comes
from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from
nature, with an open mind.’
Philipus
Aureolus Paracelsus
"The above quotes verify the power of art as a curative force.
There is overwhelming evidence documenting the healing effects of pictures
portraying peaceful, realistic, nature scenes. One can tell from the sources
quoted that this is not a new idea. The healing power of art has been recognized
and proclaimed throughout the ages. Now, we have hard evidence that
scientifically supports the efficacy of art as therapeutic. My work provides
safe emotional haven and promotes healing on all levels. The images provide
comfort and solace to those in both physical and emotional pain. The photos
invite the viewer into a world of comfort and peace. They begin with intrinsic,
aesthetic worth based on color, composition and value. Then, I ensure choices of
subject matter to soothe the viewer. You are invited to add the healing power of
art to your home, office or to any other space in which those who see the work
will benefit from the silent language that speaks to us all."
