William is self-taught and is influenced by what he sees around him, from elements of nature to a broken jug. Reality and detail are his aims. He prefers dilapidated things, which he feels have more character and he often sets himself a challenge to make a painting out of something that at first glance seems improbable. His success is reflected in his recent exhibitions, including solo shows in Omagh and Holywood as well as the RUA and RHA. Other projects include illustrations for a book cover “The Changing Years” and for a book of local scenes “Omagh: Paintings and Stories from the Seat of the Chiefs”
