Digital Arts at Selkirk College

🎬📸🎨✨ Meet Zen — not only a Digital Arts instructor at Selkirk College, but also a sculptor!
From film animation to photography, design, and even 3D forms, Zen inspires students to shape their creativity across every medium. His classes are all about experimenting, pushing boundaries, and discovering your own artistic voice.

Congratulations Zen!

The City has installed Song to Mothers by Bonnington-based artist Zen Wang in Lakeside Park, to welcome visitors at the park entrance garden. Depicting a serene mother figure, “the work is a tribute to the nurturing side of the human spirit,” notes Wang. “Mothers are full of hope, love and courage while facing down uncertainty and fear.”

Zen Wang is a Digital Arts Instructor at Selkirk College's School of Arts & Technology in Nelson. Wang, who holds degrees in art and film, comes from a long lineage of Chinese artists, including his grandmother, a celebrated embroiderer, and his grandfather, a sculptor whose tools and books continue to inspire his creative journey.

A Song to Mothers was generously donated to the City's public art collection by Dr. Ken Muth. Another piece included in Dr. Muth's donation, Gigaspider by Ron Simmer, was installed at City Hall earlier this week.

Whether you're in Nelson or Vancouver, visiting art exhibitions is an amazing way to expand your creative lens.

In the Selkirk College Digital Arts program, students explore the evolution of visual storytelling, from classical traditions to contemporary media. A unique part of the journey includes Indigenous perspectives and place-based approaches, encouraging students to reflect on the land, culture, and voices that shape creative expression in Canada.

Exploring galleries wherever you are deepens your understanding of art history and cultural context—and inspires fresh ideas for your own work. Don't miss a chance to immerse yourself in the art world this summer!

👋Meet our Students!

Hello! I am a primarly digital artist that also does some traditional work. I have interest in all the different styles of tattoos and historical paintings, I draw influences from this in most of my art pieces. And I love to add creative touches in all of my art pieces to make them feel whimsical. In the future I would love to go into Tattooing and also make prints and merchandise on the side!

👋 Meet our Students!

I’m a digital artist with a passion for designing clothes, magazine layouts, and photoshop as my main skills.
From exploring artistic subjects six years ago, to now dappling into surrealism with my artwork, I have found that I enjoy using digital paint and chalk to make my pieces.

At my root, my purpose is to tell stories. I bring the fantastic and utterly impossible tales in my head to life through a myriad of mediums from digital, acrylic, gouache, photo, video, writing, and more. I take inspiration from everything that doesn’t exist. I have no set style or method; I am whatever the story needs me to be.

I am a primarily traditional artist with an interest in horror, character design and incorporating a lot of detail into my work. My work is done with ink pens and watercolors. Working with digital mediums allows me to more easily work with different art styles and expand the scope of my artwork.
