Artist Christopher Paul grew up in Prospect, Nova Scotia, just 10 km from Peggy’s Cove, the crash site of Swissair Flight 111 and famous tourist destination. He attended Dalhousie studying Biology before choosing Fine Arts as his main interest. He graduated from NSCAD in 1999 with a BFA in Fine Arts, where for his graduation show “The Ascetic: A Brief Glimpse of Reality” Christopher merged figurative art, readymades and introduced his adoptive family to his real parents. He was searching for his real identity for years, finally discovering his artistic family from a small town in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

After graduating, he moved to Vancouver, British Columbia in 1999 and began painting again full time in 2005. His current themes include dancers and Vancouver landscapes.
