Graham Foster has been a professional artist since 1995. He was educated at The Bermuda College and the Museum School of Fine Arts, Boston. Foster’s paintings are often inspired by Bermuda’s natural environment, architecture and people, rendered in a surreal style, while other works tap dreams and the subconscious and may be more expressionistic. Foster is also a talented sculptor, working in welded and forged steel, and these works tend to reference the tribal arts of Africa and the Pacific. Foster’s artwork has been showcased and collected widely in Bermuda and can be found in the permanent collections of the Bermuda National Gallery and The Masterworks Museum of Art. His tour de force, opened by HRH Queen Elizabeth in 2009, is the two-story, 1000 square foot mural that depicts five centuries of Bermuda’s history, which took over 7000 hours (or three years) to complete; this is a must-see on a visit the Commission’s House at the Bermuda National Museum, Dockyard. Foster has won several awards for his artwork, including the 2009 Charman Grand Prize at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art.
