Keerat Kaur is a Canadian-born artist and architect with Sikh-Punjabi roots. Her work takes shape through the disciplines of painting, sculpture, writing, music, and architecture. She gathers inspiration from Indian philosophies to evoke themes of spirituality and fantasia; it inhabits the surreal, merging mundane and dream-like qualities. Kaur received her BA in 2012 (Western University) and her Master of Architecture in 2016 (U of T) while continuing her formal training in the Dhrupad and Khayaal schools of Indian Classical Music. With a passion for languages, she is currently studying the ancient language of Braj through the examination of historical Sikh texts. Kaur lives and works between Vancouver, BC and London, Ontario. Her exhibition, Panjabi Garden, is currently on view at the Surrey Art Gallery.
