Robert Paananen was born February 26, 1934 in a Finnish homestead in Wahnapitae, just outside of Sudbury, Ontario. His family moved to Kirkland Lake when he was just six years old. It was at Kirkland Lake where he developed an appreciation for nature, and he lived there until 1979. In 1974 he moved back up North to teach art classes for the Kirkland Lake Board of Education. He began to work on paintings that featured Inuit people and animals. He travelled to the Arctic to paint accurate depictions of the Inuit culture, and their way of life living closely tied to the land they have inhabited for centuries.
