Will was born in Kent in 1977. After completing an art foundation course in Kent he graduated from the University of Staffordshire with a BA(Hons) degree in Fine Art. He has always felt drawn to the
coast - from Cornwall for the clarity and quality of the light, to Scotland for its rawness and untouched beauty. There is a personal element of nostalgia for him here; his father is a garden designer
and used to create amazing sand sculptures on the beaches around the Kent coast so Will always has fond memories of the sea. He has also long had a love affair with the sensuous colours of Italy, and after graduation travelled for some months on what he describes as a 'renaissance pilgrimage'.

Now based in Cheshire, Will exhibits locally and nationally, including at such prestigious venues as the Mall Galleries in London and at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters exhibition. He has won an impressive array of awards including the Sentinal the Nadfas and the Webberly's painting prizes.

"I love the feeling of excitement as I see what were just colours on a palette transform into a face or a landscape that transports you to another place. It never fails to amaze me."
