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 Sampson

Resident 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.



                                       

Carlos Ferguson

Photographer Carlos Ferguson aptly uses the shutter speed in capturing these images that can be visualize as silent sound. Working in musical venues as The Rex, Trane Studio, TO Jazz Festival or Mariposa Folk Festival he has captured images that speaks to the soul. It is a informative process from photographer and musical artist to the viewer that a still moment silently speaks to you.
























                        
                                                       

                                                 
Kathy Andrews

Working with wool and other natural fibers, Kathy Andrews creates two and three dimensional pieces of art by wet felting and needle felting. A college graduate and former culinary artist, Kathy now spends much of her time in her studio manipulating wool into paintings, animals and vessels. The inspiration for all of her art comes from the woodlands and fields near her home in the Kawartha lakes. Conservation and preservation are a very important part of her art. As an evolving artist, Kathy has become a member of ECOAA , has been published in related fiber magazines, and has been enjoying working with local galleries.
