"I paint landscapes because that's what I love. There's no message to my work, only, I hope, a sense of peace and quietude." - Bill Saunders

Born in 1948 in Montreal, William J. Saunders acquired a love of Quebec scenery at an early age. He started sketching when he was four years old and painting when he was twelve. The farmlands of Quebec and Ontario have become his most inspiring subjects. Time and again he has captured the timeless serenity of an aged farmhouse on a lonely contry road, a secluded lake amidst rolling hills and mountains or a sugar shack, hidden in a forest of maples. These are scenes he cherishes and tries to preserve through his paintings. As the world rushes forward, Bill Saunders hopes that these scenes will never disappear.
