Supporter Dr. Wayne Adkison said, “It is remarkable how much beauty there is in some of the simple things and Billy’s able to pick that up. He’s done a lot of painting of the islands and the work with the light and shadows, surf, and the sky. It just makes you feel like you’re there, only you don’t have to worry about mosquitos, sunburn, bad weather, that type of stuff.”
