Carel Moiseiwitsch (b. 1941 in London, England) is a British-Canadian visual artist known for her graphic work and political engagement, based in Vancouver, British Columbia.[1]

She trained as a painter at Saint Martin’s School of Art in London, England, before immigrating to Canada in the 1970s, where she began focusing on drawing.[2][3] Her graphic style, often associated with punk aesthetics, appeared in newspapers such as The Vancouver Sun, The Georgia Straight, and The Village Voice.[4]

Moiseiwitsch’s work addresses political themes, including feminism, institutional racism, and colonialism.[5]

In 2011, she relocated to Lytton, British Columbia. In 2021, a wildfire destroyed the town, including her home and studio.[6][7] Following this event, she returned to Vancouver and resumed painting, with a particular focus on landscape.[8] Her recent work reflects environmental concerns, particularly those related to climate change.[9]

Her work You Are My Storm in a Port and My Port in a Storm (1997) appears in the permanent collection of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of British Columbia.[10] Her work is also featured in the permanent collection of the Surrey Art Gallery.[2]
