About

Kiranjot Kaur (she/her/hers)

Kiranjot Kaur is a Surrey-based artist who, among many artistic adventures, enjoys painting vibrant, exploratory pieces and drawing high-contrast and bold ink designs. Kiranjot is a self-taught artist who explores a multitude of techniques to serve inspiration and provide truthful, artful renderings to ideas, emotions and statements.

Art, for Kiranjot, is an opportunity to explore perspectives, informed by her artistic influences, that represent a composition of ideas in visual and poetic form. Her current work aims to celebrate her background in engineering, inspirations from Sikh philosophy, her Panjabi and Canadian heritage, her lived experience growing up in a family fabric store, and her motherhood.

Kiranjot’s work has been featured in several local art shows, including two solo shows at local public galleries for her series titled Sovereign Elevations. Kiranjot’s debut authored and illustrated children’s picture book, Sangeet and the Missing Beat, is published by Rebel Mountain Press.

Kiranjot lives and creates in Surrey, BC with her husband and three children. She is currently enrolled as a PhD student at UBC researching structural and earthquake engineering.
