Walter Sawron, born in East Germany at the end of WWII, was at a young age influenced by an exhibition of the art of Pieter Breughel and of Andrew Wyeth at a museum in Brussels. In 1953 his family emigrated to Canada. Upon graduation from OCA and Teacher's College Walter obtained his Master of Science in art education at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY. His career in teaching took him to elementary schools and to Napanee and District Secondary School Loyalist College in Belleville and OCA Guelph University and U of T.
