Born in Pangnirtung, Nunavut in 1959, the son of an Anglican
missionary and an outpost nurse, Neil spent his childhood in Arctic Canada
amongst the Inuit (Pangnirtung, Nunavut and Inukjuak, Nunavik).
He attended the University of Guelph then worked as a carpenter, truck driver, shipper-receiver and tractor mechanic.
Self-taught artist, his artwork narrative, Neil Graham addresses the contemporary world with bold visual energy. He manipulates landscapes, figures, colours and space to create layers of perception and comprehension. Diagnosed with Schizo – affective disorder, Neil imbues his art with a unique perspective. In a period that glorifies the product, he celebrates the journey.
