Originally from Kings Mountain, North
Carolina, Will L. Eskridge attended the North Carolina
School of the Arts his Senior year of high school and
Freshman year of college. Under the direction of Clyde
Fowler, Will was exposed to new artists, techniques
and materials. With the Visual Arts program at NCSA
being only a 2 year program, Will then transferred to
School of Visual Arts Savannah branch gaining
invaluable illustrative and technical training under
Patrick McKay as his primary painting teacher. During
this time, he attended his first digital media class
which introduced him to the world of digital art. Due
to political turmoil between SVA/Savannah and Savannah
College of Art & Design which caused SVA to close
down, Will transferred finally to San Francisco Art
Institute. Exposed to free-thinking and conceptual art
by Julia Couzens, Will acquired a vast knowledge of
art history, techniques and philosophies. He graduated
from SFAI in 1999 and now works as both graphic and
fine artist. He has roamed the southeast, setting up
shop in Charleston, SC; Kings Mountain, NC and
Nashville, TN. He now resides in Athens, GA with his 3
dogs and 2 cats. Along with art and music, Will also
works in canine rescue and has an ongoing restoration
of his beloved 1953 Buick.
