About The Artist
Chuck Crate was born in Weston, Ontario.
He received a Bachelor of Education from the University of
Victoria and worked in the field of Adult Education in British
Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan until his retirement, where
he resided in Biggar and Alsask, Saskatchewan.
In his early career as a public school teacher Crate became
familiar with collage, for its aesthetic properties as well
as its didactic possibilities. He began to employ the technique
of collage to create imaginative scenes or landscapes of the
imagination.
