Artist Bio
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Chris Robson’s interest in art led him to enroll at Vancouver Community College where he majored in Fine Arts. He later attended Emily Carr College of Art where he majored in drawing and relief printmaking. As a member of Malaspina Printmakers Society in Vancouver, Chris was provided the opportunity to work in a well-equipped printmaker studio. It is from this setting that he also developed his aspiration to show his work in galleries. After his training, he was drawn to the North. In 1981, he moved to Hay River, where he now lives and works.
