Often producing her original work with colored pencil on paper, Canadian artist Helga Sermat has an equally colorful background as a dairy hand, jingle vocalist and square dance musician. After growing up immersed in her parent’s Estonian language and culture, she went on to obtain her fine arts degree from a prestigious Canadian university, furthering her education with theater design, drawing and printmaking. In addition to her art, Sermat is also a co-founder of an alternative materials store. She currently works full-time as an illustrator, artist and web designer.
