20x200Artists William Crump

William grew up in the sticks of Clemmons, N.C. He received his BFA from Ringling School of Art, and eventually moved to Williamsburg in 1998. After years of not getting it, he up and transplanted his life to the East Village, where he lives with his wife and daughter. His new work will be featured in a group exhibition this December at 33 Bond Gallery. He currently longs for the red bricks, green trees and mountains of his youth.
