American illustrator, portrait painter, muralist. "William P. Welsh was an outstanding decorative painter and illustrator, primarily of the 1930s, who seemingly has not been given his due.

He painted many magazine covers and posters. He also did several murals, many portraits, exhibited internationally and taught at the Art Institute of Chicago.
