Comox Valley based artist Roger Vermeulen has been painting in oil and watercolour for over 40 years. He loves both mediums, and moves about from one to the other contentedly in his studio, often accompanied by his furbaby apprentice (Capone the cat). He always says that his best paintings are made from the mistakes and revelations which come out in the paint unplanned. 

​

After moving to Canada from his native France many years ago, Roger began developing and exploring his passion for drawing and painting, eventually instructing life drawing and later working as a scenic artist in the film industry. Nowadays, when he is not in the studio, he can be found canoeing the local waterways, taking in the beauty of the forests, gathering inspiration and trying to stay dry.
