Paint the Town vote winners! 🎨🎉👏

Congratulations to artists Yan Song and Manmeet Dhaliwal for their winning paintings! Yan is our community vote winner for her watercolour painting “Sunny Historic Stewart Farm”, and Manmeet is our juried vote winner, for his oil painting “White Rock Beach”.



Yan Song
🖼️“Sunny Historic Stewart Farm”
🎨Watercolour
📏11”x14”

Yan has a passion for urban sketching and is also an avid watercolour painter. Elgin Heritage Park and Stewart Farm is a place she often visits to walk, sketch and paint. This piece depicts the Totest Aleng building, a Semiahmoo name meaning “learning house”. Totest Aleng is a cultural and artistic space designed to support Indigenous practices and learning.

Manmeet Dhaliwal
🖼️“White Rock Beach”
🎨Oil on canvas
📏16”x20”

Manmeet is an artist based in Surrey BC, working with oils and charcoals, and a wide variety of inspirations that keep him motivated. This painting captures P’Quals, the iconic white rock, an important landmark in Semiahmoo First Nation oral history as well as the iconic namesake of White Rock. Manmeet has beautifully captured the moody, cloudy summer day we had on July 25 for the 2026 Paint the Town painting event.
