After falling from a ladder aged three when he broke his back, Ware was confined to various hospitals until he reached 16 years old. He studied at Putney School of Art, gaining a scholarship that took him to Richmond School of Art, 1932-37, studying under Patrick Millard and Albert Houthuesen. In 1940, his first war painting of the London Blitz was purchased by the Imperial War Museum, and a number of others are held in their permanent collection. His first London gallery exhibition was in 1940 at the Leger Galleries when he showed alongside Augustus John, Sickert, Modigliani, John Piper and Duncan Grant. In 1955, he was appointed Art Advisor to a Greek shipping line and held a solo exhibition on the maiden voyage of S.S.Olympia executing murals there and on the 'Arcadia'. A decade later, Ware opened the William Ware Gallery at 160 Fulham Road, replacing it with one at 25 Sloane Street, 1970-75.In 1978 he moved to Burwash, East Sussex, and had a solo exhibition at the nearby Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne, which included his commissioned painting 'The Enthronement of the Archbishop of Canterbury' (Dr Donald Coggan), now at King’s School. Between 1942 and 1983 William exhibited widely, though less frequently in the latter years. Ware's exhibition venues included the New English Art Club, Royal Academy, RP, Royal West of England Academy, Haworth Gallery in Accrington, Ogle Gallery in Cheltenham and the Upper Grosvenor Galleries and Christopher Hull Galleries in London.

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan. Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers. We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love. Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods. At the heart of Sulis, we rescue and restore lost and forgotten works, giving you the opportunity to find unique pieces and discover art in a new and different way. View All Artworks View More -->
