Meghan Richards
I grew up in the small town of Trenton, Ontario. My grandmother on my moms side (Hilda) taught me to pick up a paintbrush at the young age of 5. My still life painting is still hanging on my moms wall to this day. Along with many other pieces. I’ve had a brush in my hand ever since. There have been some interruptions and obstacles along the way but I have always come back to my happy place. A canvas in front of me and a vision to produce art on it. I received the visual arts award at the graduation ceremony in grade 8. Went on to graduate high school with a humbling 100% for my final art exam. I fought long and hard to keep the visual arts program in the school and was successful to have the OAC course still available to students after I graduated. My next adventure was to St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ontario into the graphic design program. I struggled with the thought of working under someone else in order to pursue my own dream in my sixth semester so I continued on my own path of creativity. My passion to paint comes from within. Hilda was diagnosed with wet degenerative macular eye disease and had to put all her brushes and supplies down due to lack of vision. Which she handed over to me without hesitation. She created her whole life. It was her full time “job?” I tell her my stories to this day at her wonderful age of 93, of how I still use her brushes and supplies. My new adventures to teach young thriving minds to keep creativity in every day life gives me such satisfaction to keep doing what I do. The feeling one gets within while watching the next generation develop their own passion towards the arts can’t be explained in words. So I’ll keep explaining it through art. My words to anyone out there that needs a vavle to release - pick up a paintbrush or a pencil. Put it down on a canvas or a piece of paper and let it happen. It’s exhilarating and so satisfying. Paint paint paint!!! Create create create!!!

Angele Carriere
Crafting is my outlet. I'm a wife and a mother of 2 children. I also run a daycare at home, which allows me to be with my youngest before he starts school. Making my crafts is my way to relax and escape to the imagination. I started scrapbooking in 2010 which led to a love of ribbon and bows. More recently, I have brushed up my sewing machine adding projects for the boys and their toys.
A UNIQUE VISION
I’m a furniture designer who specialises in armchair designs and combining fabrics. My designs have been sold all over Europe and the USA and I have worked with some of the biggest designers in the industry.
