About Your Host
Sandhu Singh is a Victoria-based watercolour artist whose dynamic and expressive work draws inspiration from his surroundings, vivid imagination, and cherished memories. His art reflects the duality he experiences, living at the crossroads of Indian and Canadian cultures. Sandhu's artistic journey took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with complex PTSD and began to use his art to guide him through the labyrinth of emotions and experiences, ultimately finding joy and healing. This experience has, in turn, informed his artistic philosophy, which centers on encouraging budding artists to prioritize mood, emotion and storytelling over commercial success.
Sandhu Singh's life story is a captivating narrative of resilience, passion, and artistic triumph. It showcases the transformative power of creativity, the importance of unwavering determination, and the profound connection between art and the human spirit.
His ability to weave his Indian heritage with Canadian experiences into his art adds an extraordinary depth to his work, making him a remarkable artist.
