Sichen Grace Chen or “SG” (she/they) is a painter and illustrator who currently resides as a first-generation Chinese-Canadian immigrant and settler on the unceded, traditional, and ancestral territories of the
Máthxwi (Matsqui), q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), q̓ic̓əy (Katzie), and Se’mya’me’ (Semiahmoo) First Nations, also known as Langley.
Symbolized by the pairing of her Chinese name, Sī Chén (思辰), and her English name, Grace, Chen explores the complex relationships between seemingly disparate ideas, objects, and identities. Growing up in Chengdu, China, for the first few years of her life and often moving between cities in British Columbia has led her to garner an appreciation for the sentimentality and physicality of natural and synthetic landscapes and entities, and everything in between.
She holds a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and is currently pursuing her MFA at Emily Carr University of Art + Design (ECU).
