Cowley Abbott Auction House Biography and Notes

Born in Chicoutimi, Quebec, he loved to paint and draw in his youth. Later he worked as a lumberjack in the forests of the Upper Saguenay region until he started to paint full time. About 1958 he held his first solo exhibit at Arvida, Quebec, not far from Chicoutimi. His inspiration is derived from the St. John and Lower St. Lawrence regions and from the area of the Saguenay River. He received encouragement from René Bergeron an art dealer and artist from Chicoutimi as well as having received some influence from another artist René Richard of Baie St. Paul. Gagnon and Richard have sketched often together.
