ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
William de la Mare
On a weekend trip to Mendocino, Fount's co-founder Michelle Granelli wandered into a quaint water tower turned art gallery and was awestruck by the photography and the thoughtful, engaging artist. Similar values were revealed such as drawing inspiration from nature and aiming for design and art to have a positive impact on peoples’ lives, and a synergistic partnership was born. William de la Mare’s mesmerizing water-centric photographs are stand out pieces that enhance the Fount collections.
William is interested in promoting calm dynamic contemplation through his art. As a photographer, writer and sculptor, he interprets the beauty he sees in nature and everyday objects into art.
“Beauty inspires me. I see beauty in the interaction of light and water, in how the light plays over the water. The physical interaction of light and water is the closest direct representation we have of the essence of life.”
