Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1960, Paul Van Ginkel moved to Calgary, Alberta in 1973. In search of change and new stimulation he then moved to Vancouver, B.C., in 1996, however, returned to Calgary in 2001. Prior to earning a Master of Fine Arts degree from Syracuse University in New York, Paul was educated at the Alberta College of Art in Calgary. After working as an illustrator for 6 years, he’s been a fine art painter since 1990. He considers himself a contemporary representational painter who specializes in western themes.
Part of Paul’s growth as an artist has come from extended painting trips to major art centers including New York, Italy, Australia, Mexico and Santa Fe. He also continues to travel the globe in search of new artistic stimulation while expanding his vast archive of photographic reference material.
