Hi there!

I’m Angela Pan, an artist based in Canada.

I’m passionate about capturing the beauty around me—those fleeting, precious moments that make a place feel special. I work mainly with acrylic markers, and I also love exploring textures and colours with oil pastels and watercolour pencils.

MY STORY

I was born in a small city in China, where generations of my mother’s family have lived. When I was 12, my mom and I immigrated to Canada and began a new life. 

I’ve loved drawing since I was little. At five, I became obsessed with anime, and I spent my middle and high school years immersed in manga after school. Even though drawing has always been a big part of my life, I never imagined becoming an artist—it felt too unrealistic.

I did fairly well in school and figured I’d eventually choose a respectable, "safe" career that any Asian parent would approve of. That all changed in Grade 11, when I spent ten straight hours on an art assignment and had a sudden realization: I wanted to pursue something I actually loved.  I got accepted into Sheridan College’s animation program, and for four years, I worked hard every day. After graduating, I moved to Vancouver and started working as a background painter.

 

In 2020, after six and a half years in the industry (and after quitting and returning a couple of times), I finally left for good. Since then, I’ve been focusing on my art full-time. Over the past five years, I’ve worked with a few brands, taught classes, and published a tutorial book on acrylic paint markers. And now, I continue drawing every day, doing my best to keep growing as an artist.
