Mr. Fields was a beautiful soul we will always remember. If one thing is for certain he would always put a smile on your face and joy in your heart.

William A. Fields was not just a talented craftsman but also an outstanding example to all of us to be kind and caring to others. Our hearts go out to Mr. Fields' family during this time.Yesterday William King Museum of Art lost a wonderful artist in our community. William A. Fields was often a featured artist in our biennial exhibition From These Hills.

He was passionate about the arts and connecting with the community. When he would call on the phone he would always say “Thank God we’re in the land of the living,” and when he would say goodbye, he always said “One day at a time. God willing we’ll see each other again.”

Please see William A. Field’s obituary below, and see his work in our upcoming exhibition From These Hills: Art in the Southern Appalachian Highlands on view September 30, 2021 through February 6, 2022.
