Paul Fournier Biography
(1939)
Born in Simcoe, Ontario, he spent his early years in Hamilton, Ontario. Mainly self-taught, he studied with Jean Wishart at Central Secondary School, Hamilton (1955-59); Ontario College of Arts, Toronto (autumn, 1959); and with George Wallace for etching as a guest artist at McMaster University. He emerged as a gifted artist, whose representational pen and ink drawings and etchings of natural subjects were further enhanced by his imaginative renderings. His subjects included: insects, tree limbs, mushrooms, animals including birds, and others. An additional feature of his work was his dramatic depiction of myths and legends.
