About The Artist
W. A. Slaughter (1923-2003)
William
Slaughter (1923-2003) grew up in Texas amid the splendor and beauty of the Hill
Country. The serene landscape and rolling hills near his home in San Antonio
were early sources of inspiration for his developing artistic ability.
His
love of nature manifested itself in other ways, as well; in 1952, after eight
years of intense training, Slaughter was ordained a Lutheran minister. A unique
fusion of minister and artist, he served a wide variety of congregations during
his career from Lubbock, Texas to Mexico City. However, painting was always
beckoning.
Upon
his return from Mexico, Slaughter began to exhibit his work with the Artists
and Craftsmen Association of Dallas. In 1972, Slaughter dedicated himself
entirely to painting. Of this decision he has remarked, “I never really left
the ministry . . . I now relate to people through my paintings rather than my
words. There are sermons in trees, and in the seas, and the faces of people
from many nations which cannot be forgotten.”
Color
vibrates from each canvas – sky blue, oak green, Indian paintbrush red. Distant
hills go on forever. Sunlight is warm and bright, and shade is cool and
inviting.
Although
a wide variety of landscapes inspire Bill Slaughter, it is the gentle beauty of
the Texas Hill Country that truly speaks to him.
His canvases of fields of bluebonnets and stately oak trees
evoke memories of quieter times.
