Richmond BC, Canada #richmondartgallerybc
The Artist Salon is an opportunity for emerging and established visual artists to learn from arts professionals and discuss opportunities in the arts community. Each month features a different guest presenter for inspirational talks and professional development advice for visual artists.
The March session of the Artist Salon was with Vancouver based artist Sandeep Johal.
Sandeep’s work ranges from intricate black and white line drawings, to colourful large-scale murals. Since having her first solo exhibition in 2017, she has gone on to working full-time as a professional artist at festivals, residencies, and exhibitions. Sandeep will share her artistic journey with us, offering many tips and inspiration to visual artists on how to take your art practice to the next level.
Presentation includes English transcription/captions using the Otter.ai app, and was live-streamed on the Zoom platform.
