(1931—)
William (Bill) Anhang moved to Canada from Poland with his parents in the 1940s. After attending university in Winnipeg, Manitoba, he worked as an engineer in Canada and Israel. Although he had no exposure to art, he abandoned engineering in 1975 to dedicate his life to fibre-optic art. In 2015 Anhang was a featured artist in the exhibition “When the Curtain Never Comes Down” at the American Folk Art Museum, New York. He is the subject of a 2016 CBC short documentary titled Billsville.
