Keerat Kaur is a Canadian artist of Sikh-Panjabi heritage and a background as a licensed architect (OAA). Her multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, writing, music, public art, and architecture. Rooted in the written word, her work weaves narrative and symbolism to explore themes of nature and spirituality, drawing deeply from Indic philosophies. In 2022, she self-published Panjabi Garden, a nature-inspired, illustrated Panjabi language-learning book that brings together her love of design, illustration, and language. In 2026, she self-published The Horse Who Fell from the Sky, an illustrated book, written in English, imagining the origin story of Neela, the blue horse.
