John Clair Watts

JOHN CLAIR WATTS was born in Victoria, B.C. in 1948. He lived most of his young life in Prince George. After taking a year of general arts at U.B.C., he travelled around the world in 1969-71. The experience changed his life. He broke a number of mirrors (habits of thought) and found the place (internal) where he existed. He took a B.F.A. at U.B.C. (1975-79) and had his first one-man show in the University's Fine Arts Gallery in January 1981.
