On NSCAD’s influence on Canadian Art:

“Many of the values that contemporary Canadian art is best known for – conceptually based, intellectual, very rigorous – can be traced, more or less, back to NSCAD. NSCAD is a major source of that reputation and NSCAD students have had a major impact on the national art scene. Coming here was the best thing I ever could have done for myself – it made me the artist that I am now.”
