Diana Hamer is a Toronto visual artist, celebrationist and MD Emeritus. She has been showing her work in Toronto galleries and cafes for the last 15 years. In 2015, Diana showed “Mutt Shots”, a series of 36 portraits of dogs at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition at Nathan Philips Square. The series explored mammalian facial expression and its role as a powerful communicator of emotion.

In May 2018, she brings a new series of portraits to U of T’s Science Rendezvous; portraits of the universe. Combining abstract images and the beautiful notation of mathematics, “Entropy and Order” explores concepts in classical and quantum physics, including spacetime, dark matter, gravity and quantum states. Science and technology have enabled humans to observe the natural world far beyond the scope of our everyday senses. They give us even more opportunity to be filled with wonder and awe.
