​We are pleased to announce the judge for the 2019 PSST All Members Show,  William J. Kalwick, Jr.

William studied art with his late father, and attended the Art Students League of New York. He traveled extensively in Europe, especially Italy.  He credits masters such as Sorolla, Repin, Serov, and Sargent for influences as well. He moved to Houston and studied with Lagos Marcos, a prominent portrait painter.

Kalwick paints a wide range of subject matter, including portraits, figurative, landscapes, architecture, and plein air. His work has been on the cover of Southwest Art Magazine, March 1999, and he has been a featured artist in Art of the West, and Southwest Art In 2001. He has been included in many exhibitions including Masters of the American West, The Prix de West, and the annual Gilcrease Show. 

​Kalwick’s paintings hang in collections throughout North America and Europe. He is represented by Pitzer’s Fine Art, Jack Meier Gallery, Wilcox Gallery, La Antiqua Galeria de Arte, and Concetta D. gallery.
