Bill Shumway was born in Amherst, Massachusettes. He earned a masters degree in painting at the University of Massachusettes in 1968.

He has been actively engaged in the Corvallis arts community since his arrival, by promoting regional artists and bringing international artworks to the community at Pegasus Gallery. 

Bill was one of the organizers of the on going Vistas & Vineyards en plein air group and was one of its facilitators through most of the nineties.

Bill has exhibited in several galleries and competition shows in the Northeast and the Northwest. His work is currently on display at Pegasus Gallery and the Blue Dome Gallery in Silver City, NM. Both galleries have on line gallery sites in which his work is displayed.

Bill works primarily in acrylic and interference pigments, transparent glass impregnated acrylics which refract separate prism colors. He started using these materials to depict the kinds of light he saw in his dreams and meditations, in which the light often emanates from the subject rather than simply from some external source. Later, he used them to depict the rapidly shifting light of his desert and aerial en plein air paintings. Now he employs them in almost all of his acrylic works. Bill enjoys experimenting with all kinds of media, however, including sculpture, drawing, and painting with heated copy toner and teas and he still works with oils, watercolor, and printmaking at times.
