This weekend we are featuring the work of Cambridge lawyer and artist Bill Schwarz.

Bill has been practicing law for the past 47 years with Gardner, Roberts in Toronto and practices with PSH Lawyers in Cambridge.
His interest in art was kindled in 1997. Since then he has augmented his passion for the law with his passion for art.
