    Summary: 
    "William Roach's interest -- training, if you like -- in carving and shaping wood into representations of the world around him, came naturally. When they weren't making or repairing practical articles and tools, the older men in his life spent countless hours whittling curiosities that delighted children, neighbours and friends. After years working in Ontario, Roach and his family moved home to his Acadian birthplace, striving for the stability of family and community. William began expressing himself through his gift -- a diversion at first, his passion for creating objects of beauty and value became an obsession and later a business. From his Sunset Gallery and studio on the outskirts of Chéticamp, Roach works tirelessly at his entertaining creations. William Roach is a full-time folk artist living in Chéticamp, the largest Acadian village on Cape Breton Island. From his Sunset Gallery and studio, Roach works tirelessly at his entertaining creations"--Provided by publisher.
