RECIPIENT
Corynn Kokolakis is an emerging artist and mom of three. Having stepped away from the arts for over a decade to create her family, she has spent the last few years revelling in paint, exploring subjects and redeveloping her skills. Her vivid paintings record intimate moments of transition and development, capturing children when they are most honest and without reserve. Her work can be found in private collections throughout Ontario, New York, and California. Corynn currently lives and works in Toronto.
