Women & Paint is a short documentary profiling three Canadian women painters living in Vancouver, BC. Written, and shot by three female student filmmakers over two days, the objective of finding three mid-level, local women artists, who's work embodies common themes of identity and place proves successful. As does staying within the theme of threes; in which, only three specific profile questions are asked, as to grab snip-its of each woman's artistic journey--all under five minutes.

Inspired by Vancouver's Hot Art Wet City gallery and blog, the three filmmakers set out to provide the viewer with a colorful glimpse of each artist's chosen medium; including their creative process, motivations, and artistic inspirations surrounding identity and place. Women & Paint also features new and completed art work from each artist.
