Sky Tan is a classically trained pianist and watercolor artist who lives and works in Berkeley, California. She is currently a pianist for San Francisco Ballet and Berkeley Ballet Theater. Sky has collaborated with dance companies internationally since 2004, as well as independent vocalists from the Bay Area since 2013, while continuing to write her own compositions and improvisations.

During the Spring of 2020, with pandemic restrictions requiring the closure of the ballet, Sky had the opportunity to return to her childhood passion for painting. For the last few years, she has used vivid watercolor paintings to capture the natural beauty of Northern California and urban architecture of the Bay Area, while producing commissioned works of album art and for print publication. 

Sky’s visual compositions are infused with her musical sensibilities, and so are naturally lyrical, guided by movement and are emotionally grounded in the ephemera of the present.
