As a new member of the Women’s Art Association of Canada (WAAC) I am honoured to be juried into this annual group exhibition celebrating and uplifting the 2SLGBTQI+ community through art, storytelling, and shared experience.

Presented at the Dignam Gallery as part of Pride Toronto 2026’s Affiliate Event programming, the exhibition brings together a diverse range of artists whose works explore identity, visibility, love, memory, resilience, joy, and community through a wide variety of mediums and perspectives.

Guided by Pride Toronto’s vision, “to create a world in which all people feel safer, valued, celebrated, and included, regardless of how they identify or who they love,” the exhibition highlights the power of artistic expression as a means of connection, reflection, and advocacy, while reflecting WAAC’s continued commitment to fostering accessible opportunities for artists and creating a welcoming space for community engagement and celebration.

See art, ‘Birth of an Inner Warrior’ This piece looks at how an individual may discover strength while  focusing on a deeply personal, solo journey. It starts in a place of confusion and uncertainty, but then cuts through to a sharp clarity. Ultimately, the painting captures that quiet transformation, where navigating life's trials rewires you into your own inner warrior.
