Victor CrapnellVictor was born in 1959, and spent his first few years in the prairie lands of western Canada. Whether through music, painting, photography or cartooning, Victor expressed his imagination with enthusiasm and humour.
Studying both fine art and commercial art, after graduation he joined the fast-paced world of advertising as an Art Director, in Ottawa. Very soon finding himself drawn back toward his western roots. Packing up his guitar, paints, brushes and drawing board, he headed west. |
Now settled peacefully in beautiful Victoria with wife Joanne and their pups, he’s made a living as a Graphic Designer, while continuing to fulfill his creative soul through personal art.
The wild, rocky west coast of Canada are an inspiration. The sheltered islets and bays of the Gulf Islands – to the misty, storm-tossed sands of Long Beach on the west side of Vancouver Island. Standing on the edge of the country and knowing that, beyond the horizon, the next stop is Japan.
