Graeme Shaw

Graeme Shaw is an artist with a varied background and set of artistic perspectives. Born in Calgary and raised by a mother who was an artist, he spent his youth living in several different cities across the western provinces.

In 1970 he started university in the US, but returned to B.C. and began a nine year stint alternating as a student, an illustrator and a fine artist.

In 1980 he traveled to the NWT. where he taught school in Edzo, a small native settlement along the northern reaches of the Great Slave Lake. During this time he began to paint and sketch. The paintings he created became so popular he left teaching in 1986 to devote his full attention to his art.

From 1971 when his work first appeared in galleries, Shaw's paintings have found their way into numerous corporate and private collections around the globe.

He has done many commissions, including painting for Northwest Tel, Gulf Oil, Royal Oak Mines, Nerco Mines, Standard Aero, The Government of the Northwest Territories, and Unicef among others.
