After many years of painting for pleasure, Wil turned professional in 2000. He specialises in oil portaits, ink and watercolour 'house-portraits' and landscapes. Having trained in printmaking at Bradford and Craven Colleges, Wil has extended his techniques with etching and woodcut prints.
He and his wife, Anne, live in the village of Wenhaston in East Suffolk, close to where he was born and brought up. His studio is a converted hayloft in the garden where Wil runs regular small workshops and painting classes.
