Victoria-born Angela Teng studied art at Camosun College before graduating in 2011 from the Emily Carr University of Art + Design.

Now a Vancouver resident, she has exhibited her paintings around North America including at Mixed Greens in New York and the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Next Saturday (Sept. 14), as part of the Evergreen Cultural Centre’s season opener, Teng will launch a solo show titled Up a Lemon Tree, highlighting her unique “crocheting paint” technique.

A finalist for the RBC Canadian Painting Competition in 2016 and ’17, Teng is also a former pro mountain bike racer.

Her display is up until Nov. 3 in the Art Gallery at Evergreen.
