Born in Walsall near London, England on June 12, 1901, William Winthrop Ward immigrated
to Boston in 1916 and spent much of his youth boating off the coast of
Massachusetts. After a stint with the U.S. Marines, he came to
California in 1927. While a member of the Coast Guard, he began
painting while tending the Point Lobos lighthouse on the coast at San
Francisco.
His work came to the attention of local artist Heliodor
Hammarstrom, who tended the windmills in Golden Gat (showing 500 of 1290 characters). |
