William Maughan

William Maughan began his career in commercial illustration in New York in 1974. Since that time his illustrations have appeared in numerous magazines, children’s books, paperback book covers, and ad campaigns. After establishing himself as a widely sought-after illustrator, a new vision and artistic interpretation of a purely painterly approach marked a turning point for the artist which continues today.

Maughan creates images in both oil and pastel that focuses on the serene and peaceful mood of the life he’s experienced. The cool colors of a canal scene in Venice or the soft glow on his daughters faces bathed in sunlight are images that convey Maughan’s sense of romanticism and wide scope. Each work is a tribute to his eye for composition and technique.
