- Notes
- Dingle was born in north Wales and immigrated to Canada when he was 3 years old. His family initially settled in Toronto, but later moved to Mississauga. Dingle began his art career in 1931, attending the Ontario College of Art, and studied under artist J.W. Beatty. Dingle moved to England and worked as an illustrator from 1935-1937. During this time Dingle also studied at the Goldsmith’s College of Art, creating portraits that were exhibited at the London Portrait Society. Dingle returned to Canada and exhibited annually with the Ontario Society of Artists. When the comic book industry began to boom in Canada, Dingle co-founded a publishing company, Hillborough Studio, creating the comic book series “Nelvana of the Northern Lights.” This series starred, Nelvana, Canada’s first superhero comic character. In the following years, Dingle created illustrations for reputable publications, teaching at the Doon School of Fine Arts in Kitchener and at the Etobicoke Community Art School. Dingle is best known for his oil paintings of landscapes, seascapes and portraits.
