Canadians in the Round at Holt Renfrew Yorkdale 🎨🇨🇦

I’m so excited to finally share some incredible news with you — my newest collection, Canadians in the Round, is going on exhibit at Holt Renfrew Yorkdale this September!

From Friday, September 5 to Thursday, September 12, you’ll be able to step into a celebration of 50 Canadian icons who have made us laugh, sing, dream, and feel proud to call them our own. Each portrait is painted in my signature Big Eyes style on 8" round wooden canvases — a vibrant tribute to the legends who shaped our culture.

This project comes straight from the heart. I created it out of pure Canadian pride, to honour the people who have brought joy, nostalgia, and a sense of belonging to our lives. Seeing all 50 portraits together in one space is truly magical — and I can’t wait for you to experience it too.

Meet Me at the Exhibit 💖

I’ll be at Holt Renfrew in person on Saturday, September 6 and Sunday, September 7 from 12–5 PM.
Come by, see the art up close, discover behind-the-scenes stories, and say hello!
