Gina Pasaran

Gina Pasaran is an emerging visual artist in Treaty 6 Territory, so-called ‘Edmonton’. She was born in Mexico and immigrated to Canada from a young age. As an artist, Gina explores facets of personal identity, mental and physical wellness, and navigating close relationships throughout her art practice.

She has completed a Fine Art Diploma from MacEwan University and is graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Art and Design from the University of Alberta.
