More About Bill ...

Bill Schwarz is a lawyer carrying on an active law practice in Cambridge, Ontario with his law partner, Bob Pettitt. He graduated with a Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Toronto in 1966 and was admitted to the Law Society of Upper Canada in 1968. Born and raised for the first seventeen years of his life in Regina and Tyvan, Saskatchewan, he won his first colouring contest at the age of five!

This burst of glory was interrupted for fifty years by school and his law practice. However, genius can never be suppressed! His smouldering interest in art was re-kindled in 1997 when his wife, Nancy, suggested they take an art course.

In the pursuit of excellence his artistic skills are continuing to be developed at the Ontario College of Art and Design, the Dundas Valley School of Art, the Homer Watson House & Gallery, the Cambridge Library and Gallery, the Georgian Bay School of Art, and by attending other artists’ workshops.
