Tanya Slingsby works independently from a 2,000 sq. ft. studio gallery
in Vancouver, Canada. Since 2002, she has focused solely on
abstraction in painting, creating visual discourses on primordial and
ethereal states in nature and the human condition. Using a formalist
approach, Slingsby explores the energetic and emotional interplay of
colour, texture and surface. Each work is a meditative addition and
subtraction, layering polymer resin, pigment and encaustic 'mis en
plat'.
Tanya completed her Bachelors Degree with Honours in Fine Arts
and History of Art at the University of Victoria and holds a Masters
Degree in Aesthetics and History of Art by scholarship from the
University of Sussex, UK.
