Bill Whittaker gained fame
as an expert decoy carver under the tutelage of master carver
Orest Andrews. Working hunting decoys evolved into decorative
bird carvings. In 1986 Bill was commissioned to carve Hooded
Mergansers presented to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II when she
officially opened Science North. Retirement has allowed Bill
to pursue other creative outlets including acrylic and oil painting
plus soapstone carving. Bill has attended workshops offered by
Paul Burdette, Suzanne McRae, Vicki Girard and Sandy Cline. His
works can be found in numerous private collections.
