Catherine Chan is a visual artist based out of Vancouver, BC whose work reflects upon themes of social and environmental sustainability, impermanence, and the human experience of change on different timescales. Catherine is a graduate of Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver with a BFA in Photography.


Prior to attending art school, Catherine completed her Honours Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Toronto in Biogeography and Physics, and a Master of Science degree at the University of Guelph in Soil Science. She was a research scientist studying soil ecology and biochemistry, and her experiences in the natural sciences continue to inform her practice.

Her inspiration comes from the landscape, beauty found in unexpected places, and from the openness of people’s hearts.
