台灣出生，旅居加拿大40年，接受本地Emily Carr 藝學院專業美術教育。
善以不變的內在童稚之心不斷地去探討社會環境及人類的內在精神空間，開創出自巳無限性的獨特藝術語言表達形式。對人物雕塑與西洋建築也有濃厚興趣。
受塞尚，高更，畢卡索的影響，旱期畫風屬後期印象派原始畫派，漸漸演伸到帶有超現實主義的抽象表現。對創作極力追求表裡一致的藝術水平。
經常受邀展出及專題演講。是一個以自已的藝術形式創造出能喚起潛意識領域的創作畫家，己溶入主流社會，作品也廣為收藏。

Born in Taiwan, Shya-fen Tsai has lived in Canada for 41 years. She received her professional art training through the Emily Carr University of Art and Design. She also very much appreciates western architecture and always enjoys building sculptures.
Influenced by Cézanne, Gauguin and Picasso, her early art work depicted post - impressionist qualities, which later transformed to more of an abstract expression.
She is a painter and sculptor who tries to create arts that evokes the intangible, but makes the intangible tangible.
