Artist Statement/BIO: Puneet is a Vancouver based painter and an art educator. Before moving to Canada, she spent her childhood playing with paint in her mom’s art studio in Chandigarh, India; a city hugged by mountains and inspired by Swiss & French architecture. Puneet holds a BA from the University of Victoria. After completing her degree, she pursued her love for art at Canvas Method - a contemporary atelier. She currently works for the City of Surrey as an art instructor while developing her art practice out of her studio in East Vancouver.

She is a landscape & figurative painter in the realm of realism and impressionism. Art is where her love for nature and passion for painting collide. In the midst of that collision, she finds inner stillness. Natural stillness and sounds of flora & fauna continue to draw her into plein air painting. Puneet has trained in traditional techniques of oil painting and drawing. She is drawn to experimentation and continues to push the medium; including/exclusive to color & texture. Puneet creates to evoke silence, spontaneity & classical beauty.
