Joanne Tod

Montreal-born Joanne Tod was part of Toronto’s influential Queen Street West arts scene in the 1970s and 1980s, and is considered a realist painter of great range and wry introspection. Recent work has included portraits of 121 Canadians who died while fighting in Afghanistan, and portraits of every player on NBA team the Toronto Raptors. Both projects were painted from photographs.

Today, Tod teaches painting at the University of Toronto. Her work is seen around the world and hangs in Canada’s great public collections, including the National Gallery, the Musée des beaux arts and the Art Gallery of Ontario.
