Charles Warburton Young was famed for his intimate knowledge of animal and insect life in Canada. Born in England, he began his art training at the South Kensington Art School in London before immigrating to Canada and settling in Vancouver circa 1902. He gained a considerable reputation as a big game hunter and his interest in the outdoors and wildlife is a constant theme in his paintings. He was employed by the Animal Health Branch of the Dominion Government at Agassiz and many of the paintings of animal and insect life he produced at this time appeared in government publications. He exhibited widely in BC including the Vancouver Art Gallery.
