C.M. Duffy, a Toronto-based visual artist, weaves the real with the surreal, crafting a world where nature’s wonders are reimagined with a touch of whimsy and wit. A graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City with a BFA, Duffy has made a significant mark on the art scene. In 2021, he collaborated with the Department of Canadian Heritage, showcasing a large installation in both Ottawa's Confederation Park and Frankfurt, Germany, to honor Canada's Guest of Honour status at the Frankfurt International Book Fair.

Duffy's current body of work blossoms from daydreams, drawing inspiration from Mother Nature’s vast and varied landscapes. His creations delve into the overlooked, liminal spaces where reality bends into illusion, and allusion emerges in playful, unexpected ways. Themes of camouflage, illusion, and survival thread through his pieces, challenging viewers to reconsider their perceptions and beliefs. With a playful sense of trickery and visual wit, Duffy’s art invites us to embrace the idea that, amidst our relentless pursuit of objective truth, magic still exists, waiting to be discovered in the world around us.
