About

Bil Chamberlin

Artist

My work blends structure with spontaneity, mainly through abstracts that mix playful shapes with intentional patterns, encouraging viewers to find their own stories in familiar yet mysterious forms. These pieces act as a visual language exploring the line between what we recognize and the abstract. Each brushstroke builds on the last, creating a conversation on the canvas. Color plays a key role; I use bright, sometimes clashing colors to spark emotions rather than just mimic reality. Combinations like bright pinks with deep blues create a dynamic tension that reflects the contradictions in our lives—finding balance in chaos, and patterns in disorder.

My creative process is improvisational. I start with loose marks and layer them, sometimes hiding and revealing past choices, mirroring how we make sense of our experiences. The final artworks hover between abstraction and suggestion, occasionally hinting at familiar figures or landscapes before fading back into color and form.

My paintings celebrates seeing itself—how we instinctively search for patterns and meanings in our visual surroundings. In a world flooded with digital images, I find joy in the physicality of paint and the unique experience that only paintings can provide.

Designer

Design is my passion, and I savor every moment of it! With over 20 years in the game, my love for everything tech keeps me diving deeper—I learn something new every single day. At NetApp, I’ve had the exciting opportunity to take the reins in establishing a fresh brand identity and revamping our website. Now, I’m at the helm of our 3D product models and renders, overseeing art direction while collaborating closely with our brand team to create extraordinary 3D content.

I’m on a quest to explore immersive 3D and VR solutions that will elevate user experiences. I genuinely feel lucky to work with such an inspiring team at NetApp; they’re the most amazing folks I've had the pleasure to collaborate with!

Throughout my career, predominantly on the agency side, I've teamed up with industry titans like VSA, Digitas, MRM-McCann, and Ogilvy. Together, we’ve crafted campaigns that celebrate global brands such as IBM, Samsung, and Verizon. I’ve gone from conjuring award-winning ad campaigns to forging innovative digital products, sculpting impactful brand identities, and bringing motion graphics to life.

Moreover, my journey has not just been about creativity: I’ve led teams and fine-tuned design operations, ensuring our digital product deliveries are seamless, efficient, and bursting with organization. Let’s keep the creativity flowing!
