| Harold
A. Pym was born in England where he studied fine art
in London under members of the RA. During the 1930s
Pym's design covered everything from portraits to illustrations
for London weekly and daily newspapers, and commissions
from major companies, such as the Ford Motor Company,
to portray their products. During the Second World War
Pym produced 'now famous morale-boosting posters' for
the MOI, and emigrated shortly afterwards to Vancouver,
Canada.
In 1970, Harold was commissioned by the British Columbia
Government to go to Osake, Japan and create art for
their Pavilion at the World's Fair. Whilst living
in Vancouver, Harold's work included murals and guest
room pictures for major hotel chains such as Hyatt
Regency, Four Seasons and Canadian Pacific. Throughout
his life, Harold studied the major religions, 'New
Thought' movements and mystery school teachings, looking
for the major inter-connectedness between art, science
and religion.
