Biography

Cat Hues also known as Pink Panda (they/she) is a painter from Winnipeg. They aspire to create visual works that encourage one to explore the emotions and experiences of thought and feeling that arise in the present moment. Through the use of vibrant colourscapes and intricate line work, Pink Panda hopes to connect us all through their art.

They enjoy working with chalk, acrylics, spray paint and UV reactive paints on a variety of surfaces.
During the summer, their chalk drawings can be found around the city or you may find them performing live painting “pop-up” installations. The leaving of temporary art is something significant to Pink Panda as it helps keep their mantra “Be in the moment” in focus and practice letting go.

They have facilitated as a guest artist at schools, organizations, events and summer camps and have worked with kids and youth of all ages.

Testimonials

“ Pink Panda was a guest at my art camp for kids for the last two summers. I could not be happier having Cat join us! They totally inspired the campers with their incredible art, and created an amazing workshop for kids ages 4-12! Cat brought a unique project for each group in an inclusive, approachable, fun way that my students still talk about months later. Thank you Pink Panda!”
