Art by Bill Schwarz, B.A. J.D.
Born and raised in Saskatchewan until he was seventeen, Bill was a child prodigy winning his first colouring contest at five years of age. However, this early burst of fame was interrupted for fifty years as he pursued his education, earning his Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Toronto in 1966. Bill was admitted to the Law Society of Upper Canada in 1968 and moved to Cambridge where he has built a successful and respected law practice with Bob Pettitt and Carly Hills.
For all of that, artistic genius was not to be suppressed. His smoldering interest in art was rekindled in 1997 when his wife, Nancy, suggested they take an art course together. Bill's tenacity took hold and he has since pursued his artistic development with courses at the Ontario College of Art and Design, the Dundas Valley School of Art, the Homer W atson House & Gallery, the Cambridge Library and Gallery, the Georgian Bay School of Art, the Southampton School of Art, the Fallbrook School of Art, and by attending other artists' workshops in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Europe.
