Bill Gaylord is an artist, art curator, recovering architect, and former BONFIRE Gallery owner in Seattle’s International District. To Bill art and artists are the lifeblood of humanity, wellsprings of creativity, inspiring the world to the power of art.

Bill is a collaborator and experiments with as many mediums he can get his hands and brain around: wearable art, body art, fashion, traditional painting and printmaking, collage, photography, performance, and site-specific sculpture installations made with repurposed found objects and trash. Reused plastic in all its devious forms is a favorite material.

An original east coast kid and a RISD grad in architecture, Bill has lived, worked, served, and created in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest most of his life. As Bill’s mentor famously stated: “Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming. I don’t know where I am going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.”
