Reference: Born in Chemainus, British Columbia in 1935, Lewis obtained an Honours degree from the Vancouver School of Art in 1958 and a teaching degree from the University of British Columbia in 1959. He studied under Bernard Leach, the artist-potter in Cornwall, England from 1961 to 1963. Much of his work between the 1960s and the 1980s included some aspect of sculpture or positioning as a questioning of the dichotomy between the static and the transient. He was fascinated with seeking commonality and human links revealed by conventional items and popular myth. He worked with photography, film, video, and performance, becoming increasingly interested in nature and topiary. His attention to new media eventually led to his appointment as Head of Media Arts at the Canada Council in 1987 until 1990. He received the prestigious “Emily” award from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in 2000. He has shown throughout Canada as well as in London, New York, Oakland, Los Angeles. France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Austria, and Belgium.
