I’m a female Canadian abstract expressionist artist and portrait photographer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. I was born and raised in East Vancouver, a vibrant and multicultural neighbourhood that continues to shape the way I see and experience the world. Living and working on the West Coast of Canada, I’m fortunate to be surrounded by natural beauty. The mountains, forests, and ocean are constant sources of inspiration in my art.

My creative journey began in 2009 as a portrait photographer, working primarily with children. There’s something incredibly honest and free about the way children engage with the world, and I’ve always felt deeply connected to that energy.

In 2020, I turned to painting as a form of healing and self-expression. Art became a space where I could move intuitively—guided by emotion, memory, and mood.

As a mother of two, much of my creativity is rooted in love, connection, and the search for authenticity. My children, nature, and the act of creating itself, continue to ground me and fuel my work. I share my ongoing creative journey and evolving body of work on Instagram at @artbysarbglaze, where I’m grateful to connect with a beautiful community of art enthusiasts and supporters.
