Bill Haveron
Was born in 1957 and raised in Bryan, Texas where he still lives and works. He started doing art everyday as a teenager and has continued practically nonstop ever since then. Bill went to Sam Houston State University for a couple of years. Until he decided that he would be better served pursuing his own vision rather than doing class assignments. He lived out in Sam Houston National Forest with his pet monkey Mr. Dale. There he began to create a body of work that would be noticed by Murray Smither. He took photos and showed them to James Surls and Charmaine Locke. Who were so impressed that they put him in his first major exhibit, The House Show at the Lawndale Annex in Houston. During this time he met the international cult hero, Mark Lombardi, who would introduce Bill’s work to the world. Followed by legendary gallerist, Gene Binder, who had several exhibits for Bill in Dallas and Koln,Germany. He has also had shows with Horwich-Lewallyn in Santa Fe, and Ghetto Gloss in Los Angeles and was represented by Gerald Peters Gallery and Kirk Hopper Fine Art in Dallas. Bill Haveron’s art is in many museum, corporate and private collections. Including the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
