Graham Foster is a Bermudian artist whose paintings tend to follow one of two directions – one inspired by Bermuda’s flora, fauna, architecture and people that he renders in a uniquely surreal style.  The other style is looser, more expressionistic and is often influenced by dreams and the subconscious. Foster is well known for his large scale murals and commissions for several respected institutions in the Caribbean. Foster is also an important contributor to Bermuda’s cultural community, sharing his knowledge in talks at various school art programs, and encouraging the next generation of Bermuda-based artists.

Best known for his huge mural, ‘The Hall of History’, located in the Commissioner’s House at the Bermuda National Museum in Dockyard, Bermuda.  The two storey, 1000 square foot interior mural depicts five centuries of Bermudian history, and took over 3 years to complete.
