Willie Crockett, the artist of Crockett Gallery speaks with the strong dialect unique to Tangier Island where he was born and grew up fishing, hunting waterfowl and roaming the marshes of the Chesapeake Bay. He paints with the strength of a life-long intimate knowledge he acquired from this enchanting youth. His paintings are recognized as among the most honest portrayals of the Chesapeake drama and beauty. Best known for his wildlife art, Willie transmits to his paintings an ever fresh view of the Eastern Shore Landscape, the wildfowl and the Marsh. An occasional easy transition into colorful abstracts and flowers speaks for the versatility of the painter and the sensitivity of the man.
