About Bill Gingles

Bill Gingles was born in Louisiana in 1958, leaving at the age of five, returning when he was thirty.  Gingles lived in different parts of the United States while growing up and began showing his work in Denver in 1983. Eventually, he could not resist the urge to return to the south.  He lives and works in Shreveport.

Painting is a moving balance between controlling the painting and allowing it to lead the way. The magic is in finding a way to let go.”
