We Miss You and Love You Bill !

 

Bill Sullivan, A retired paramedic, began his woodworking as a home hobby, but a Woodturning display in a gallery really caught his attention. One artist's work piqued his interest and since she lives in Fort Myers, he called her. Through her mentoring skills, he eventually became a professional woodturner.

 

A member of the American Association of Woodturners, and the founding president of Woodturner of Southwest Florida, Bill and his wife Patty, have traveled all over the country to demonstrate his skills. His wood turned and sculpted art has been displayed at art shows, woodturning symposiums and galleries. Bill was honored in with a Best of Show Award at the 18th Annual Southwest Woodcarving Exposition, held at Harborside Convention Center in Fort Myers, continuing the ongoing recognition he has earned in his field of art.  -- excerpt from Shell Point Newsletter
