Bill Wilkinson

 

The Artist
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 painting in his spare time. After studying under various Westcoast artists over the years and then experiencing a pivotal painting trip to Italy in 2001, he decided it was time to devote all his energies to painting full-time. He now lives and paints 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 panel. His influences are varied, the most significant of whom are Georges Braque, Jackson Pollack and Hans Hoffman. He is an Active Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and has recently won an award for his mixed media work."
