Hank and Dolly's gallery is showing the versatile work of William Minion, who is exploring new thresholds as an artist. Minion's work has primarily been highly realistic, using graphite to meticulously observe people's likenesses through portraiture. Recently, Minion has been challenging himself through large-scale murals in bright colors with a loose and atmospheric quality.

"Right now I carry two primary artistic modes at the same time," Says Minion. "Creatively, I'm in a converging space. Realism taught me to observe people with patience and empathy, seeing value in the overlooked. The murals push me toward gesture, risk, imperfection, and storytelling."

The work in Liminal is Minion's exploration of the expansion of his work while finding solid ground internally with the changes he is undergoing creatively. “Liminal" refers to an in-between state–Thresholds, passages, and tension before resolution.

"Liminal frames the work as a space of waiting, becoming, and wrestling. The figures, compositions, and environments feel suspended, caught between grit and transcendence. It mirrors the internal shift I'm undergoing, an artist moving from meticulous, safe detail into something bolder, riskier, spiritual, and public."

For Minion, this is the moment in his creative journey before arrival, when identity is being reformed but not fully defined.
