William Oscar Kasso, (AKA Bill or Willie), was a professional artist his whole life.  He usually signed (if he did) his paintings with his last name, Kasso.  Though not much publicized, he was a fairly prolific artist and was much loved by his friends and patrons.  He did not like working with dealers, and sold most of his work by word of mouth.  He was written up in his local newspaper for his artistic talents when in high school.  He had a full scholarship to Syracu (showing 500 of 2921 characters).
