Historique
Christopher Geoffrey Dawber (1943 October 30 - 2012 November 12) was a British-born Canadian accountant and painter known for his advocacy and practical support of artists, especially in tax-related matters. Born in London, England on October 30, 1943, during a wartime air raid, he immigrated to Canada with his working-class parents, who opposed the British class system. He began but did not complete teacher training in the 1960s, during which time he met and married poet Diane Dawber (née Flindall), with whom he had two sons.
Professionally, Dawber worked as an accountant for Nortel/Norcom and later founded a tax advisory service called Art in Taxes, aimed at helping artists navigate Revenue Canada requirements. A narcoleptic, he also painted dream-inspired landscapes and operated a home studio called the Bear and Jackal Studio. In later years, he assisted in securing Trillium funding for his wife’s Health Pursuits Research and Reading Group. Dawber died in Kingston, Ontario.
