Jennifer Carvalho, the artist.

Carvalho received her MFA in studio art at U of G, and has received numerous grants and awards from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council. Originally from Hamilton, Ont., she lives in Toronto.

Her paintings have foreboding undertones, exploring themes of time, darkness and withdrawal through images heavy with ecological destruction.
