There are a couple decent sources, but overall it is not enough to establish GNG. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:25, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - the several sources, the prize, and solo exhibits in major art scenes allows her to meet the technical factors for creative persons. Bearian (talk) 15:07, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Strong Keep: It meets minimum main notability guidelines, as for minimum main general notability one needs to be a award winner we cannot neglect it. Rocky 734 (talk) 16:04, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I had never heard of the "Kingston Prize" before this. Upon looking it up, it turns out it is a private prize founded by two private individuals. These days it is easy to do this and say you are "Canada's premier prize for portraiture". That said, it has garnered some coverage and seems reliable. However I see this as pretty much the artist's only claim to fame.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:25, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - Being an "award winner" doesn't automatically make someone notable. It comes down to the prize itself and in this case it doesn't count for that much. That said, CBC, Design Art Magazine, Artoronto, Vice, several things at Juxtapoz, Create Magazine, Hi-Fructose, nss magazine... there seems to be some halfway decent coverage. Some of these I'm including without entirely knowing they're reliable, though. I also acknowledge that several of these are interviews, which don't help the article that much but do contribute to notability. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 21:48, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
