William has been working as a professional artist for 25 years; specializing in oil painting and mixed media. His work has been exhibited in shows and galleries across Canada and the United States.

William's 2024 and early 2025 work was influenced by the subtle colours, values and textures he experiences in the presence of nature. Late 2025 work has progressed towards intuitive streaming of consciousness and these paintings are developing into large, full-chroma compositions.
Studio images of the creative process and the beginnings of the new series, "Intuitive Streams" will be released in January 2026.

"I have been blessed with two amazing children. They are the inspiration and motivation for my work."
