Chantey Dayal

about the artist

Chantey gratefully lives, and makes art in Quw’utsun’ mustimuhw Territory. She is a colour addict, a stargazer, a plant lover, a meal maker, a conscious dancer, and is always on the lookout for delight.

Her paintings are an earnest celebration of life. As a first generation Canadian of Indian and Middle Eastern descent, Chantey's art strikes the viewer through a bold use of colour, shape, and contrast.

She is often steeped in poetry, mythology, rhythm, ritual, and the fables of faraway places. This ignites and compels her towards all that is deeply feminine and life-giving.

"Wildwings is a collection of paintings depicting the colours, rhythms, and relationships of animals to their surroundings. They are a playful and curious expression of the interconnection between the beings that we share the planet with; climate, solar, and cosmic energies, included.  The collection ranges in themes, such as perceived threats, existential angst, astrological guidance, and the phenomena of air, water, and light. "     - Chantey Deyal
