Who is Pink Panda?
Pink Panda (they/she) is a painter from Winnipeg, Canada living and working on Treaty 1 Territory. They aspire to create visual works that encourage one to explore the emotions and experiences of thought and feeling that arise in the present moment. Through the use of vibrant colourscapes and intricate line work, Pink Panda hopes to connect us all through their art. They enjoy working with chalk, acrylics, spray paint and UV reactive paints on a variety of surfaces. Exploring these mediums allows the artist to create a variety of aesthetics for the viewer's senses to absorb.
Urban art, music and cartoons have always been a strong influence and inspiration for Pink Panda. They enjoy spending the spring and summer months longboarding and leaving chalk drawings to be found around the city or performing live painting “pop-up” installations. The leaving of temporary art is something significant to Pink Panda as it helps keep their mantra “Be in the moment” in focus and practice letting go.
Pink Panda has worked and collaborated with clients including: Tara Davis Studio Boutique, Expert Electric, Inspire Community Outreach, Macanta Design Build Inc., Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba Inc., Transcona Biz, Winnipeg Chamber of Commerice, Studio Central/Artbeat Studio, Scam Skate, BGC Winnipeg and the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.
