Diane Lindstrom
During the COVID-19 months, Diane Lindstrom discovered her love for the "line and wash" style of drawing and painting, especially with crooked houses and barns. For the first time in her life, she picked up a paintbrush and began creating. It wasn’t until her husband pointed out that her houses were crooked that she realized she tilts her head to one side while she paints!
Diane is a devoted follower of Christ, a mother of three adult children, and a proud Nana to six beautiful grandchildren. She cherishes laughter, homemade chai lattes, line and wash paintings, long-distance cycling, chocolate-covered ju-jubes, early morning contemplative hours, newborn toes, jumping waves, popping bubble wrap, and embarking on adventures.
Diane’s cards are available for purchase at Shirley’s Country Clutter, 330 Simcoe St, Beaverton, ON., L0K 1A0

Justine Keith SampsonResident of Beaverton in Brock, I grew up in Pefferlaw Ontario. I’ve always used drawing, painting, sculpting, music and digital animation as a form of self expression, but it was not until I was in college for law & administration that I realized how important the arts were to me. After I graduated, I attended one year for animation at Durham college, and further realized my desire to operate completely free from any established discipline or a traditional school setting, and instead continue in the autodidactic approach to artistic expression, self discovery & spirituality.
