William Quigley's figurative studies began at age 19 when he entered Philadelphia College of Art with no formal art training and had never drawn from a live model. Although he displayed a rare imagination and natural ability for drawing in kindergarten at age 5, his early artistic expression was primarily through cartoons. These early model studies became his first formative experience in the discipline of looking, observing, and translating the human figure through line and gesture. The rigorous practice of drawing from life established the foundation for his lifelong exploration of movement, structure, and expression, while revealing an instinctive sensitivity to mark-making that would later evolve into the balance between representation and abstraction throughout his career.
