Brief BioCanadian, born 1941 NationalityCanadian Description

J.C. (Carl) Heywood was born in Toronto, Canada in 1941 and grew up in Chesley, Hanover and Galt, Ontario. He graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1963 having studied printmaking with lithographer Frederick Hagan, RCA (1918-2003). Heywood later lived in Paris for four years, working at English printmaker and painter Stanley William Hayter's celebrated Atelier 17 print shop before returning to Canada in 1973.


An avid traveler, Heywood’s work was inspired by the sights and sounds of the places he visited and studied. Travels to countries such as Iran, Egypt, Japan and India have played a major role in the development of Heywood’s work, often appearing in the pattern and designs in his vivid prints. A large part of Heywood’s expansive career also included teaching and residencies at various universities and print studios across Canada and Europe.


A long-time professor in the Fine Arts program at Queen’s University in Kingston, Heywood retired from teaching in 2006. His work is represented in several major public collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, Victoria and Albert Museum (UK), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (US), and the Museums of Fine Arts (Montreal) as well as the University of Alberta Museums Art Collection which holds close to 200 prints by the artist. Carl Heywood passed away in 2022.
