As Sian’s artistic pursuits advanced, she further continued her studies in Mixed Media at the University of Calgary. In 1991 she received a Masters of Fine Arts in Mixed Media. After graduation, time was taken to travel through France, Italy, England and Asia, There Sian experienced some of the art and architecture she had learned so much about in Art History. She felt it to be a truly unique experience, viewing first hand, the art history of these regions.
Sian then moved to British Columbia, after settling, she decided to open up her own studio and carefully chose a location that would benefit and inspire her as an artist. In 2002 the decision was made, North Vancouver would be the ideal location. With its historic atmosphere and stunning scenery, Sian felt a sense of the past being close at hand.
