W.L. CATE, artist
William L. Cate (Bill) is an architect and artist, diver and angler. He was born in West Palm Beach, Florida in 1973, and as a child, grew up fishing off the coast of South Florida with his family targeting saltwater game fish. During summers, he enjoyed vacations to The Florida Keys hunting for spiny lobster. His early experience on the water shaped his love for the ocean and the creatures that inhabit it.
In 1991, Bill accepted a scholarship to the University of Miami School of Architecture in Coral Gables, Florida, a school known for its spectacular analytical and whimsical drawings of architecture, urban planning, and landscape design. After five years of being immersed in Miami's surrounding environment, he learned how to use vivid colors to echo the spirit of places such as Coral Gables, Miami Beach, Key West, and the Everglades. The university's philosophy of creating realistic drawings to illustrate the natural and man-made environment, animals and objects is the core of his artwork. The Atlantic Sailfish, inspired by the historic Pier 5 in Miami, Florida and completed during his last semester in 1996, was Bill's first opportunity to merge his education as an architect with his passion for the outdoors.
After graduation, Bill accepted a position with an architecture firm in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he focused on completing his internship and obtaining his architectural license. In his spare time, he completed the Mahi-Mahi in 1999 prior to moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts to pursue a graduate degree in Civil & Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2001, Bill accepted a construction management position in Coral Gables, Florida with Hines, one of the largest real estate organizations in the world.
Following an eight year hiatus, Bill returned to his artwork as a full-time hobby, and the Yellowfin was completed in the fall of 2007 as a dedication to his father for his 60th birthday. Based on the positive feedback he received over the dedication and subsequent words of encouragement, Bill formally established Beloved Creations by W.L. Cate in early 2008. The company made its debut at the 2008 Miami International Boat Show and now enjoys a full schedule of venues. Bill has completed eleven original pieces to date, including the newly-released Redfish.
Bill resides in West Palm Beach, Florida with his loving wife, Karen, two daughters, Madison Leigh and Avery Elizabeth, and son, William George. He is especially thankful for all of the inspiration and encouragement he has received over the years from his family.
