Paul Schmitke is a Canadian artist based in Vancouver, BC. His abstract landscapes emerge from a process focused on nature, materiality and spirit.

He is inspired by abstract expressionists including American painter Jackson Pollock, as well as Canadian painters Jean-Paul Riopelle and Fernand Toupin. Schmitke's favourite artist is Lawren S. Harris, who is the leader of the Group of Seven, a group Canadian landscape painters.

Schmitke graduated from Emily Carr University of Art and Design.
