About the Artist

Willo Downie is an emerging abstract artist from Toronto, Canada.

Willo draws inspiration from her natural surroundings – typically bodies of water – and is inspired by her exploration of the relationship between colour, feeling and form.

She attended NSCAD University in Halifax NS, where she studied Art History. She is an educated and certified goldsmith with over 8 years' experience in the jewellery industry. She founded her sustainable fine jewellery business in 2020. Willo continues to release new collections through February Jewellery Inc.

Giving back and supporting causes that prioritize our planet and its people is a passion. She regularly contributes original paintings or proceeds from their sales to various not-for profit organizations including UNYA (Urban Native Youth Association), Sick Kids Foundation, The Sierra Club, Indian Residential Schools Survivors Society, Voices of Children (Ukraine), Disappointed But Not Surprised; a Fundraiser for Abortion Access, and Swim Drink Fish (formerly The Waterkeepers) Art Auction.

You can find her work hanging at 2Gallery in Picton, Ontario and most recently, the permanent art collection at Scotia Bank Arena.
