Drifting Through Sorrow

Karmen Chan is a Chinese-Canadian artist who wanders between intense, often distressing, emotions and lived experiences through drawing and painting; working primarily with pencils and oils. She has developed an inclination to deeply self-reflect as a creative process which allows for her to arrive at, represent, and understand the complexities in those feelings and happenings. She often uses the human body and/or elements of nature as a means to express and process these outcomes of looking inward.
