1960’s and he designed, organized and coordinated the Sausalito Art
Festival with artists Al Garvey and Michael Bry in 1965 and 1966
He began drawing and painting at a young age and his vast body of work
expresses his wide variety of interests, mediums, styles and subjects.
His work has been exhibited in galleries throughout the United States
and many paintings are in private collections.
Bill has been working full time as an architect since 1958 in addition
to painting and raising a family. He designed over 400 structures that
include art galleries, custom and market homes, ranches, restaurants,
floating homes, bed & breakfasts and commercial buildings. Many of his
projects won awards; have been published in more than 30 books,
magazines and newspapers and featured in two films.
Bill recently semi retired from architecture and now has more time to
devote to his art. He is currently living on a houseboat in Sausalito
and in addition to living on the water he has recently completed a new
floating studio as well.

original work. Updates will be made to the gallery as new original
pieces and giclees are available.
