William Brownridge was born on October 14, 1932 in Rosetown, Saskatchewan, Canada, in the family of Roy Harper and Theresa Vivian (Cochlan) Brownridge. Born with Spina Bifida, the young William was fascinated with hockey. His physical inability to participate stemmed a lifelong interest in creating art that reflected his passion for the sport. Forced to remain seated for long periods, Bill started to draw, and paint.
William Brownridge graduated from the Alberta College of Art with a diploma in advertising art.
William was a partner for fourteen years at KB Graphic Design. After that he worked as an associate creative director for twenty years at Francis, Williams & Johnson. In 1975-1976 he won a Canada Council grant to paint and draw the disappearing railroad architecture of the prairies. He was commissioned in 1981 by the Calgary Olympic Development Association to render a series of serigraphs depicting the sporting events of the Olympic Winter Games. These works were used as a part of Calgary's winning presentation to the International Olympic Committee for the 1988 Olympics.
In order to dedicate himself exclusively to painting, he left advertising for good in 1995. Since then he has also become a writer and illustrator of his own series of best-selling children's books. Brownridge has exhibited across the country, and his works are represented in corporate and private collections at Burnaby Print Show, Young Contemporaries of Canada, Red River Exhibition, National Museum of Science and Technology, and at Canada House Banff.
William is a New Democrat.
On September 6, 1960, William married an artist Barbra Irene Orsted, with whom he has five children, David, Leanne, Nancy, Beth, and Boyd.
