Reference: Born in Toronto, Bateman taught high school for 20 years, including two years in Nigeria, after graduating with an Honour's degree in geography from the University of Toronto in 1954. He began painting full time in 1976. His love and keen observation of the world around him was expressed through art from a young age. A recent article about him states that "by 12 years old, he had painted every hawk and owl in North America" [see below: article in Canadian Geographic]. The recipient of more than a dozen honourary doctorates and the subject of over nearly as many documentary films, he is one of the best known artists in Canada. He currently divides himself between his home on British Columbia’s Gulf Islands and a cottage in Ontario’s Haliburton County.

In 1931, he moved to England to study painting and architecture where he became a member of the 'Twenties Group' which was supported by Lucy Wertheim. Bates continued to live in England until 1939 when he joined the Princess Louise Machine Gun Battalion. As part of the 51st Highland Division, he was sent off to fight in France but was captured by Germans at Dunkirk. He worked as a Prisoner of War at a Thuringian salt mine for the next five years.

He held multiple exhibitions throughout Canada and became a member of Canadian Group of Painters in 1957. In 1961, he suffered a stroke which left him partially paralyzed. He moved to Victoria soon after and continued his innovations with art. He became a founding member and the president of the Limners and was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Calgary in 1971. A retrospective of his work was held at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1973 and he was awarded the order of Canada in 1980, shortly before his death.
