This captivating show continues Todd’s powerful Migration Series, featuring richly textured portrayals of polar bears, penguins, and whales, created using mixed media techniques. Each piece captures the movement, resilience, and beauty of migratory wildlife across land, air and sea.
Todd’s work has gained major recognition. Her piece Salmon, Salmon, Salmon has been selected for display in the Ontario Parliament (Toronto, 2026) through the Art a la Carte collection. She is also the recipient of the Outstanding Emerging Artist Award from the Electric City Culture Council and has exhibited internationally, including in Korea and Japan.
Unlike a traditional art exhibit, this is a hands-on sensory experience where visitors are encouraged to engage through touch, creating a deeper connection to the artwork and the natural world it represents.
Todd explains, “Most galleries teach people not to touch. I’m doing the opposite. This exhibit is built so everyone can experience art fully, not just look at it.”
Accessibility is a cornerstone of this exhibition. Visitors can scan QR codes beside each piece to hear audio descriptions, and large-print and Braille identification cards will be available to support a more inclusive gallery experience.
“Art is something you feel. This exhibit invites everyone into the experience, through touch, texture, and connection.”
