Latcham Art Centre invites you to celebrate the arrival of spring with Stanzie Tooth’s colourful and compelling solo exhibition, Inheritance. This collection of elaborate ink on paper paintings and new large-scale digital print installations explores our relationships to each other and the environment. Teeming with vibrantly realized plant life and populated by enigmatic figures, Inheritance draws viewers into Tooth’s immersive landscapes.

Stanzie Tooth’s artworks are layered with personal and historical references. Informed by her upbringing among the forests and farms of rural southern Ontario, Tooth’s art practice reimagines the history of Western landscape painting. Tooth’s recent work is further informed by her experience of becoming a mother during the Covid pandemic, which was transformational to her practice. Reflecting on motherhood, the question of what world we are passing on to future generations takes on an entirely new dimension of feeling and consequence in Stanzie’s recent works. The thoughtful and emotionally rich compositions in Inheritance express the idea that a deeper, more reciprocal relationship with the natural environment is attainable.

Latcham Art Centre gratefully acknowledges the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville for their generous support of this exhibition.

About the Artist:
Stanzie Tooth’s paintings are rooted in the forests of southern Ontario where she was raised. Her accumulated bodies of work riff on the art historical landscape, while in search of one that reflects a bodily, and intersectional experience.

Tooth holds a BFA from OCAD University and an MFA with distinction from the University of Ottawa. Stanzie was the 2015 recipient of the Joseph Plaskett Award for Painting, supporting time creating in residencies hosted in Berlin, Iceland, Greece and Italy. Her work is included in numerous private and corporate collections including: The Royal Bank, Toronto Dominion Bank, A.T. Tolley Collection, the City of Ottawa and St. Michael’s Hospital.
