Thomas W Fripp
1864 - 1931

Born in London, England in 1864, Thomas William Fripp came from an important and influential family of 19th century British artists. His grandfather was one of the founders of the Old (later Royal) Watercolor Society and his father George Arthur Fripp, along with uncle, Alfred Downing Fripp were also highly regarded and influential members of the British art establishment. Thomas first studied under his father before attending the St. John's Wood Art School in London from 1883-85 and later at the Royal Academy in London (1887-90). He also traveled throughout Europe receiving additional art training in France and Italy, blending and synthesizing the various artistic influences and traditions into his own unique style.

In 1893 Fripp immigrated to Canada settling in Vancouver where he met Gertrude Maude Muriel whom he married on June 9, 1897. Together they purchased a parcel of land in the Fraser Valley and Thomas took up the life of a farmer which lasted until 1904. That year he suffered a serious injury and was unable to continue to tend the land and the family eventually moved back to Vancouver where Thomas found work as a commercial photographer, before dedicating his efforts to painting full time. In doing so he became one of the first professional artists to live and work in British Columbia documenting with great sensitivity the vast and varied landscapes around him. In 1908 he co-founded the B.C. Society of Fine Arts.

Drawing upon his education and the influences of 19th century British artists, Thomas Fripp was well equipped to tackle the rugged beauty of the British Columbia landscape. He quickly gained renown for his ability to capture the misty atmosphere and majesty of the mountains traveling extensively by rail documenting the Fraser Valley and the Rockies. Although he is primarily known as a Canadian artist, he also traveled extensively to Austria, France, Italy, Switzerland and South Africa. At the time of his death, the newly formed Vancouver Art Gallery held a major retrospective of his work.
