Delete There are more references than currently listed in the article, but any claim to notability is weak, and I think he fails almost all notability criteria for Creative professionals. Per
WP:ARTIST: 1) He is not regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. 2) He is not known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. 3) His work has not been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. 4a) His work has not become a significant monument. 4b) His work has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition. 4c) His work has not won significant critical attention. 4d) His work is not represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. This claim: "He has won several art awards from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council" is an exaggeration. As far as I can tell, he has won the Emerging Artist Award for the Premier’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts and was awarded
one grant from the Canada Council. I can't find any sources that call the Emerging Artist Award 'prestigious'. Unlike receiving a notable award, receiving a grant does not make an artist notable.

Comment I have been advised ( see Richard Alexander discussion on WP:NACTOR) that the above quoted rules are actually guidelines to help indicate whether an artist is likely to be covered in reliable sources and passWP:GNG. That he passes WP:GNG through significant reliable sources coverage makes him notable even though he may fail WP:ARTIST. Similarly, if an artist passes some of the criteria of WP:ARTIST but has no coverage in RS ( which happens) he cannot pass WP:GNG.
