In 1965, Bill Wallace came from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Northborough, Massachusetts. He had majored in illustration at the Philadelphia University of the Arts, and began his career as an illustrator. He started out as a technical illustrator for Boeing-Vertol, and as he gained experience working for different clients, he eventually became a free-lance designer and illustrator for many industries, information centers and museums. His many artistic creations, including exhibit design, technical illustration, wildlife art, marine art, murals and dioramas, can be seen throughout the New England region.

Mr. Wallace also designed and painted several projects for the New England Science Center in Worcester, Mass. One of the most spectacular is the African Communities Hall. This project included extensive research, design and painting of backgrounds for nine huge dioramas, blending three-dimensional elements with the two-dimensional paintings to create an illusion of great depth.

Several years ago, Mr. Wallace and his wife Fran moved to Rockland, Maine to start their own gallery, which blends their many talents. He became a lay pastor, and they work together in their ministry.
