We’re pleased to introduce Stanzie Tooth, Visual Artist (Toronto), as a juror for this year’s Art in the County.

Stanzie’s paintings are deeply connected to the forests of southern Ontario, drawing from both art history and lived, bodily experience to create layered, narrative works.

Her work is held in major private and corporate collections across Canada and internationally.

Stanzie is based in Toronto and represented by General Hardware Contemporary.
