Born (1980) and raised in Chicago, Illinois, William Kinney has worked as a visual artist, filmmaker, and photographer creating works which capture the human experience.  William graduated from the prestigious film program at Columbia College. There he earned a BA with an emphasis in cinematography. As an artist, William utilizes his photography/cinematography skills in composition and design. He reinvents day-to-day commonly over-looked subjects and with an attuned eye captures the beauty for all to see.  In 2014 William moved to the energetic city of New Orleans becoming an Official Artist of Jackson Square.  He started an abstract series titled “Up and Down.” It is comprised of acrylic, micron pen, coffee ,wine, blackwalnut dye derived from my grandfather's tree he planted over a century ago and butterfly pea flower dye.  The purpose of the work is to create calculated chaos by allowing design elements to occur naturally and randomly.  Once the chaotic field is established, William uses paint and line to compose each piece.  He has further expanded the series with “ Up and Down- Places.”Utilizing monotype montage, William incorporates the representational into his abstraction work.
