A Multidisciplinary Visionary
Roy Kenzie Kiyooka was a Canadian painter, poet, photographer, sculptor, and artist. Born in Saskatchewan, Canada, he was a Nisei, or a second-generation Japanese Canadian. His family moved to Opal, Alberta, in 1942. Throughout his diverse career, he served as an arts teacher at the Regina College of Art, the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
His artistic practice evolved significantly over the decades. While he engaged in painting and sculpture, he eventually shifted his focus toward photography and filmmaking. His creative output extended into literature, including works such as Transcanada Letters and Pear Tree Pomes, the latter of which was nominated for a Governor General's Literary Award.
