My Background
Hi. My name is Chad Cole and I’m a Toronto-based artist.
I've been lucky to travel Canada from Cape Spear to Tofino - with a thousand stops between. Beyond Canada, my wife and our two sons had the opportunity to live in Europe for a few years. I love wandering through great cities and galleries.

Hi. My name is Chad Cole and I’m a Toronto-based artist.
I've been lucky to travel Canada from Cape Spear to Tofino - with a thousand stops between. Beyond Canada, my wife and our two sons had the opportunity to live in Europe for a few years. I love wandering through great cities and galleries.
Born in Quebec, I now live in Toronto’s east end. Since returning from Europe, our family has grown to include a cat named Ziggy.
Thanks for reading.

I primarily use acrylic in my paintings and all are done on either canvas or linen. Drawings are typically done in pencil, charcoal or pastel.

My Inspiration
Ideas come from everywhere and my phone has become home for all sorts of people, places and things that catch my eye.
My paintings take on themes of joy and community and my use of colour conveys optimism. There’s also some humour. My goal is to bring a viewer into the setting and, hopefully, make them think about the broader context through the pieces’ content.
