The only son of an artist father, William Whitaker grew up in the special world of the working artist. He had access to the finest art materials and was painting in watercolor and oil at the age of six.
His fondest early memories are of the sights sounds and smells of the art studio. He has been a professional artist since 1965, during which time he has conducted workshops and been a university art professor.
He continues to work with one or two advanced student artists for fun. He paints about three or four hours every day ands spends the rest of the time trying not to ruin any good work he's done.
