William Townsend’s fine art images begin as photographs of natural objects. The photographs serve as the primary material for the transformations of line, form and color into abstract images through the use of digital tools and techniques. He applies various techniques to the image until he senses the image has become “complete-in-itself.” His goal is to create images that reveal the Realm of the Mystical Imagination.

William has been engaged in the practice of photography and image creation for several years. He participates in several local photography groups and art associations in the Seacoast Area. He is a juried member of the New Hampshire Art Association and the Plymouth Art Guild in Plymouth, MA. His images have received several awards in both group and juried shows in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
