Heinemann was born in 1863, in Surbiton, Surrey, the eldest son of Louis Heinemann, a director of Parr's Bank & native of Hanover, Germany, and his Lancashire born wife Jane Lavino.
After attending Eton, Rees-Davies studied at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he graduated with a BA degree in 1885.
Born into a wealthy family at Montreal, he travelled to Paris in the 1880s to study art, frequently practicing in the Forest of Fontainebleau. Afterwards he continued his studies in the Netherlands and Italy. Hope painted in oils, watercolours and ink.
Travelling widely throughout rural Quebec drawing landscapes, harbours, boats, marine views, mountains, interiors and historic buildings. Several of which can be seen at the McCord Museum. In 1890, for the purpose of "social enjoyment, and the promotion of arts and letters", Hope founded the Pen and Pencil Club of Montreal.
They first met at Hope's Montreal home on Dorchester Street in the Golden Square Mile, and after his death in 1931, the club continued to meet at the studios of Edmond Dyonnet, which were also on Dorchester Street. The Pen and Pencil Club quickly rose to prominence, and members (the club continued to meet until the 1960s) included William Brymner, Maurice Cullen, Edmond Dyonnet, Robert Harris, Stephen Leacock, Lt.-Colonel John McCrae, Sir William Cornelius Van Horne, William Henry Drummond, Louis-Honoré Fréchette, Henri Hébert, Ernest Cormier, William Sutherland Maxwell, Percy Erskine Nobbs and Sir Andrew Macphail. As women were not allowed to join, it helped precipitate the creation of the Women's Art Association of Canada in 1894.
William Hope lived in a house designed for him by the Maxwell Brothers at 664 Dorchester Street West, with an attractive painting studio. He kept a summer house called "Dalmeny" at St. Andrews, New Brunswick - also designed by the Maxwells. They were the parents of two children.
Hope died February 5, 1931, at the apartments he had retired to at the Ritz-Carlton Montreal Hotel.
