William Turner was born in rural Northampton County on Virginia's eastern shore. Having spent many years in Belle Haven as a child, Turner returned to that area after World War II, graduated from the University of Virginia in 1957 with a qegree in anthropology and later attended the Medical College of Virginia's dental school. Turner developed an interest in painting and sculpture. He now works with his son, David, at Turner Sculpture, the largest private bronze foundry and gallery in the United States. Their works appear in hundreds of museums, universities, art galleries, businesses and homes throughout the nation and in several foreign countries. Visit his artist website here.
