Gideon Tsang (b. 1974, Saskatoon, Canada) is an artist, writer, public speaker, spiritual consultant, and community organizer. His work sits at the intersection of art and spirituality, often transforming neglected spaces into vibrant community art hubs that support local artists.
Beyond creating large-scale, painterly images with his camera, Gideon has given artist talks around the world. His passion lies in capturing the essence—the spirit—of a person or place, bringing it to life through imagery and experience.
