Artists Bio

Born in 1977 in North Vancouver, Bill Westwell was deeply influenced by the flow of life in a rainforest on the coastal mountains. This is where he explored and played on rocks, snow and trails, savouring the lush environment full of texture and colour. From the microcosm found underfoot to the infinite universe being revealed above through the developing space age, he saw correlation between the vast and the tiny, taking comfort in the opportunity to observer of it all. A lifelong artist, suppressed by self imposed restrictions of what “should” be, he has burst through his previous limiting factors to become an insatiably curious, tireless and prolific visual artist.
