Hello! My name is Mya, I’m an artist from Tsawwassen who is trying to put herself out there! I enjoy a wide range of mediums and am willing to try just about anything. I express myself through colour, texture, and the human form. Art is a huge piece of my life and this competition is such a meaningful opportunity for me.

I am new to Vancouver and looking forward to participating, thank you for coming out and hope you enjoy!

Hello, I’m Heather! I started doing pastel art last year and have grown to love the change in how I see the world- through the art lens. My biggest goal today is to have a great time.
