Bill McDonnell
Bill is one of RHD-RI's most popular artists. He's shown in NY and Chicago, at the Outsider Art Fair and the Intuit Show of Folk and Outsider Art, respectively. An avid left-winger with a rather naughty sense of humor, Bill's a vegetarian who prefers his food to not resemble human body parts.
