William Irish
IRISH'S WEBSITE
William Irish has been collecting stories and anecdotes for over
thirty years, employing those influenced by the majestic frontiers
of Canadian landforms sculpted from the east to west coast.
His 2006 Canada publication conveys histories, fables, legends
and myths that have been shaped by the indomitable terrain
and the heritage of living communities from within.
The publication includes images of his dramatic paintings on
exhibit, that breathe life into the stories and the “roads less
traveled” from shore to shore.
Irish’s quest and passion includes art direction, film
direction, photography and painting. In 1974 Irish and six
colleagues established Partners Film Company in Toronto; a
passion that would preoccupy him for some 25 years, garnishing
major awards from the industry such as the 1990 Les Uherwood
Award for “a lifetime of excellence in the Communication Arts”
from the Art Directors Club of Toronto.
