Acrylic on wood.
16x16"
The infamous Matador Ballroom in Toronto. Gone but not forgotten. Missed by just about everyone in the city - except the neighbours.
Quincy Raby (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Toronto. Her body of work encompasses a variety of mediums including acrylic painting, collage, sculpture, photography, and soft goods. She is also an art instructor at various schools and organizations around the city.
When not in the studio, Quincy loves road trips and people watching. Slick landscapes communicated using clean lines, and observations on character and social commentary are common themes in her work.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I had a typical Generation X upbringing. Lots of solo time to explore and do whatever I wanted, which at the time was mostly draw and watch TV. Like the Donnie and Marie Show, which I never missed on Friday nights, I'm a little bit country - which is evident in the landscapes, and a little bit rock'n'roll, which comes out in the slightly darker and more experimental mixed media work.
While making and selling art is incredibly rewarding, the greatest gift it's given me is the opportunity to turn younger generations on to exploring their creative path.
