Jean Claude Roy studied at the Lycée Technique de Saintes, France, from 1960 to 1966. He came to know Newfoundland while working as a marine electrician on a French cable ship, and moved to St. John's in 1971. At this time, he began to paint seriously. In 1992, Roy returned to his childhood village in France, but has always maintained his ties to Newfoundland; since 1994 he has divided his time between the two places.
