Drawing + Painting 2020

Welcome to Emily Carr University’s Painting + Drawing Visual Arts Major. These esteemed BFA graduates have delved into aspects of material practice and technical experimentation by merging critical reflection, theory, contemporary issues, and interpretations of art history. Furthermore, many of these artists are interested in interdisciplinary practices, that combine past, present, and future technologies. We hope you enjoy!
