I am thrilled to announce that I will be exhibiting at Art Intelligence; ’s in-person exhibition as part of DesignTO featuring the next wave of exciting artists. If you’ve been following my work, this is a great opportunity to see it IRL and show your support for emerging Canadian artists. The show runs from January 18 - 28 at Gallery1313. 👉Visit: https://designto.org/event/art-intelligence/ for all the details.

My included piece is called, "Nothing But Flowers", and it's a reference to the Talking Heads song of the same name! You can also find that artwork and more of my work on instagram .

The future of art in Canada will be influenced by a combination of cultural, technological, economic, and societal factors....
