about the artist

Shantael Sleight grew up in rural Alberta and is now based in Victoria, BC.

Since completing her BFA in 2002 from the Alberta University of the Arts (PKA Alberta College of Art & Design) she has maintained a studio practice and has exhibited publicly and privately throughout Canada.

Shantael has always been interested in capturing the ordinary beauty and essence of nature, related to our human experience.  The embodiment of joy or loss mirrors itself through natures cycles and seasons and is reminiscent of a deeper connection to something bigger than self.
