Born in Ottawa in 1939 and a graduate of the Ontario College of Art, Walter Bachinski has had a long and distinguished career as a printmaker, sculptor and painter whose works have been included in solo and group exhibition in galleries and museums across Canada and abroad.

Bachinski’s early work was primarily black and white and concentrated on the areas of printmaking and drawing. His work continued to evolve, becoming more classical in style; his exploration of colour in pastels, leading to his re-examination of the possibilities of still life.
