Originally from Buffalo, William Bunting earned a Fine Arts degree at The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, NY. Now residing in New Jersey with his wife and two children, he spends his time teaching drawing and creating realistic renderings and humble, timeless themes of classic vehicles, often in settings representing America of times gone by. Bunting has won many awards for these unusual oils, including Best in Show at the Hudson Artists of New Jersey's 47th Annual Regional Show and Best in Show at the 17th Annual "Art on Waverly" Show in Madison, New Jersey. He was featured at Artist of the Month at the Edison Township Municipal Complex and featured at the SVA Galleries in New York City in their "The Disposable Culture" exhibit. His commissions include paintings for Circle Playhouse in Piscataway, designing signs and logos for businesses as well as paintings of specific automobiles for individuals.

William started exhibiting at the Anchor & Palette Gallery two years ago. His nostalgic oils remind the viewer of the beauty of the vintage autos and trucks that have been lost along with their surroundings: the diners that used to dot the old highways, the drive-in movie theaters, the old motels along the roads now forgotten and overpowered by the interstates. To add to the fun of the paintings, William makes his own frames, artfully including an old spark plug here, coil there. Not all of William's paintings are in old surroundings. He puts some of his vehicles in more familiar spots, on the beach, in a local parking lot. If a patron has a favorite spot or vehicle, William will paint it. Prices range from $400 up to $1,200.
