Artist William DEBilzan began his unique journey on February 27, 1956 in Amarillo, Texas. As a youth growing up in Grass Lake, Michigan, DEBilzan would for many years only dabble in art related arenas. It would be some time later before this California Abstract Expressionist would embrace the inevitable. High School found DEBilzan sketching and day dreaming a host of design-oriented art, clothing lines and architectural scenarios. Sports and other projects compromised young William's artistic exploration and energy devoted to this particular cause. Artistic pursuits were still only nice distractions, undertaken between games or during uninteresting lectures. Young DEBilzan seemed precocious to adults unfamiliar with his odd perceptions of the world and unsolicited commentary. He appeared eclectic and curious, yet remarkably unfocused. Even the college years painted young DEBilzan as a most unlikely candidate to passionately pursue any one subject.
