William Ferguson was born in Melbourne, Australia, on January 4, 1932. As a child, he often accompanied his father, a Sunday painter, on excursions to paint landscapes in watercolour. Ferguson’s love for art continued through his school years, leading him to study painting at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and later at Melbourne Teachers’ College. From 1953 to 1981, Ferguson dedicated his career to teaching art. One of his earliest positions took him to Colac, where he taught metalwork and blacksmithing, inspiring students to create sculptures from metal. It was also in Colac that he met his wife. The couple returned to Melbourne, where Ferguson taught at Camberwell High before moving to Melbourne State College, where he lectured in painting and served as Head of the Art & Design Department from 1972 to 1981. He later became a Senior Lecturer in painting at RMIT from 1982 to 1989, and has worked at the School of Art in both Australia and Hong Kong.
