Angela Lillico

Angela believes art is necessary in this day and age to bring comfort, refuge, and hope in a time of instability. She believes the power behind beauty heals those who encounter it, helping overcome chaos with calm, and replacing stress with serenity. Her goal is to share her vision, and her hope is for her artwork to give the viewer a sense of peace. Angela's impressionistic work is inspired by nature: clouds, water and rock.
She works in both Acrylic and Encaustic. Her Abstracts are based on a number of different qualities found in nature: rock striations, countryside vistas, watery reflections, and the night sky. Her Landscapes are memories of her childhood growing up on the prairies. She loves the big open skies and the clouds that fill them. Fluid acrylic helps her attain the rolling, mingling formations, suspending them in time. Her Waterscapes reflect what is happening above as shown in the ripples of water below. Her Floral paintings are impressions of the hidden beauty found in the wilderness, untouched by human hands. The fluid acrylic helps her get a marbled effect on the petals which creates a rich, lively image.

Elowen Megan

Elowen is a fibre artist working primarily in needle felting wool.
The needle felting process starts with a small barbed needle and wool roving . When stabbing through the wool the scales of the needle catch on the fibre entwining them together. Through time and diligent work the fibres are bonded together. There is just something so satisfying about the tactile nature of fibre; when Elowen creates a painting you can’t help but be pulled in by it, as the fibre tempts you to touch and become part of it. . There was just something so satisfying about stabbing something thousands of times that just makes your stress disappear. We’ve always known, art makes the best therapy!

Joy billings

​Joy knew her calling at an early age, but it wasn't until her kids grew up that she pursued her passion for art.  She made it her mission to find value and beauty in everything, and used her creativity to draw out it's potential.   Having grown up without ever truly understanding her own potential and beauty; a shy, quiet observer with humble farm beginnings, Joy quickly became resourceful with which she did have access-- paper, and her creative mind.
Having experienced a depressive emotional breakdown in her late 30's, Joy learned how to fully embrace the depths of having a loving relationship with herself; taking her art from pristine photo-realistic perfectionism, to a more forgiving expression of play in the journey of that discovery.  With a penchant for writing, words are a large element of Joy's work, using their ability to mold the human spirit towards growth and encouragement.
