Artist's Bio

Unlike many artists, Will Enns was not born with a pencil clutched in each of his extremities. In fact, he was thought by his peers to be somewhat normal until his 40's, when he began drawing seriously, and his unorthodox view of the world came to light.

His artistic approach is the distillation of a simple concept: "If art does not elicit a response from the viewer, it's probably not much good. I don't want people to be indifferent to my work. They should either love it, or hate it." While he suspects such a simple view is the anti-thesis of high-browed elitism, he doesn't worry too much. "I don't want to be taken seriously. The art world is too constipated already."

Will attributes the 3-dimensionality of his works to an interest in formal portraiture; "...it is perhaps the most demanding of the painterly disciplines. Once learned, portrait skills serve well with all subject matter."

Will lives and works in Summerland, BC, where his wife Dolly encourages him in his artistic efforts when she is not too busy chortling over them. He illustrates for a few magazines, including Okanagan Life Magazine, of Kelowna, BC, and is currently creating cover paintings for Canadian Technician Magazine, of Ontario. He is a self-taught watercolorist.
