He studied at the Ontario College of Art and spent much of his working life as a commercial graphic artist. Painting and sculpture developed alongside that career, often during the hours left after work and family life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHis graphic design background remained visible in his fine art. Chase used strong outlines, compressed shapes and intense fluorescent colour, creating images that often resemble stained glass more than conventional landscape or wildlife painting. That visual intensity was not simply decorative. He wanted colour and form to create an immediate emotional response in the viewer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eChase described his work as an attempt to create a spiritual connection rather than communicate a religious message. He believed that, internally, people share many of the same emotions, even when they express them differently. He used colour and movement to bring those shared emotions to the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHis work was exhibited across Canada, including at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, and received numerous awards.
