Born in Montreal in 1950, Bill grew up with a passion for sketching, painting and fabricating art objects. He worked for years as a commercial photographer, designer and illustrator, but all the while sought to paint full time. Following a pivotal painting trip to Italy in 2001, he finally decided to sell his business in Vancouver and now paints full time from his studio in Tsawwassen, B.C.

Over the years, Bill's painting style has evolved using various media, from watercolor, acrylic and oil, to mixed media. Currently, he feels he has found the right expression with mixed media on canvas or panel. His influences are varied, the most significant of whom are Georges Braque, Jackson Pollack and Hans Hoffman.

Bill is currently represented by the Art Ark Gallery in Kelowna, and MiMa Gallery on Vancouver Island where prints are available. His art is also available through the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Art Resource in Baltimore, Maryland. He is an Active Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and has recently won an award for his mixed media work.
