Welcome to the Toronto Playing Card Project!

I’m painting 52 buildings from Old Toronto that I will turn into a deck of cards. Not only am I painting buildings that represent the city as a whole but I also want neighbourhood landmarks, like the Broadview Hotel in Leslieville or Revue Cinema in Roncesvalles.

Once all 52 Cards have been painted, I will be creating decks of cards and selling them through my website, and also through local stores in Toronto. If you would like to carry my playing cards in Fall 2026, please email info@artbyalena.com.

If you’d like to follow along with this project, I post a new card every Monday on my Instagram and TikTok, @artbyalena.co.

If you are interested in commissioning a completely custom deck of cards , please email me at info@artbyalena.com.
