Bill Amundson is a Denver based artist who works in the "Suburban Regionalist" mode, a style devoted to capturing and celebrating the true American scene rather than the idealized version so often pictured in the art of our time. His work reflects an interest in the contemporary landscape, particularly as reflected through such distinct American staples as the subdivision, the chain restaurant, retail franchises, interstate travel, SUV's and the ubiquitous cell phone. His work has been described in various publications as "ironic, compulsive, sweet, irreverent, whimsical, fanatical, hysterical and banal," which leads one to question the veracity of the publishing world.

Mr. Amundson was born in 1953 in Stoughton, Wisconsin, a small Scandinavian farming community in the southern portion of the beer and cheese state. He attended the University of Wisconsin, Madison from 1971-1975, at which time he was awarded a B.S. Degree in Art, deemed appropriate by all who knew him well. He settled in Colorado in l978, but still spends a substantial period of time each year on the road in search of subject matter, both appropriate and otherwise. He has exhibited extensively throughout Colorado and the United States for over 25 years, and his work is owned by a wide variety of individuals and organizations nationwide and throughout the world, and for the most part they seem to enjoy it. In describing his life's work, Mr. Amundson says; "I'm a small town Midwestern guy with no cultural upbringing who's spent too much time in the suburbs. I think that pretty much explains it."
