OUR VENDORS

Allison Barrow is a passionate impressionist artist who captures the brilliance of her subjects with bold brush strokes in watercolor. Her artistry is deeply rooted in plein air painting, resonating with an emotional connection that conveys narratives of serenity, sparkle, and gratitude, primarily centered around the theme of landscapes.

Allison’s creative process revolves around transparent watercolor, employing an impressionist approach to landscape. Bold brush strokes infuse her works with rich, saturated colours, pushing the boundaries of light and shadow. Working primarily a la prima, her art captures the swirling moments of nostalgia she experiences, allowing her to transport her audience to a particular moment in time. "My paintings serve as a reflection of my unique perspective on life, evoking extraordinary memories of tradition, moments of celebration, and the simple, exquisite joy of being."

 I was raised on a little hobby farm in Markham, surrounded by horses, goats and chickens. After graduating from University of Toronto and earned my CMA designation, I pursued a career in finance while raising our 3 daughters in Markham and King Township.

My artwork is driven and inspired by my summers spent in Nova Scotia where I’m surrounded by nature and the vast Atlantic Ocean. It is then created here in Newmarket where my home studio is located. I am a lifelong hobby artist and have chosen to work with pottery because of the strong connection to nature and its ability for expression.

Meghan started her business journey in 2014 as a creative outlet while working full-time as a nurse. What began as a hobby making body care products quickly gained interest from friends and family. In 2015, she officially launched her small business, not expecting it would one day become her full-time career. Initially, Meghan created products in her free time, driven by her love for candy-scented aromas, which were difficult to find. This passion led her to develop unique formulations for bath bombs, which eventually grew into a full line of body care products. 

By 2018, Meghan reached a turning point where she had to choose between expanding her business or continuing her nursing career. She took the leap, leaving nursing to pursue her passion full-time. Now, her brand offers a vibrant range of self-care products, all handmade with 95% natural ingredients, free of sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, and both vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. Drawing on her nursing background, Meghan ensures her formulations are not only fun and colorful but also gentle on the skin, promoting self-care as a priority for everyone.

Hi, I’m Cara, a creative enthusiast living in Newmarket, ON. I’m passionate about working with my hands and enjoy crafting silk bracelets and handbuilt ceramics from my cozy home studio. Each piece I create reflects my love for artistry, attention to detail, and the joy of transforming raw materials into something special. Whether it's working with delicate silk or shaping clay, I find inspiration in the process of making and sharing my handmade work with others.

I am passionate about everything related to fibre, but also like to explore working with materials mother nature provides. 

Mostly self taught, I've honed my skills, and I find immense joy in creating unique pieces of art.  

My signature piece is a single- or multistrand necklace showing crocheted wire adorned with a combination of beads from various materials, simply closing with a magnetic clasp. Solid colours or vibrant combinations will sure be a conversation starter. 

Delvea (Del) is my name and I am an artist self-taught in a variety of media, resulting in a highly developed but very personal style. I started showing my work in the mid 90’s and first came to attention as a charter member of the “Jefferson Street Gallery” in Ellicottville, New York for two years.  It was through my exposure there that a steady following developed throughout western New York, my ‘horse’ portraits being particularly in demand.  I was honored to be selected as one of Ducks Unlimited Artists of the year in 1998. Then after several years attending to ‘life’ I am back at it and painting what I love!

I have learned and continue to learn a great deal from other artists since moving to Kawartha Lakes in 2009. I love that it’s “horse country” lol. There are endless vistas and natural scenery that offer so much inspiration here. Although I paint all forms of wildlife, Equine art has and will always be the most passionate and fulfilling artwork I do. Enjoy!

I can be contacted via email at delveatuff@gmail.com

I've always loved handmade pottery and when I started learning the craft, something incredible was unlocked inside of me! My pottery admiration became a passion, and that passion became an obsession. I create every piece with intention and don't make anything I wouldn't use and love myself. My primary focus is functional pieces, and I love enhancing my work with various surface decorations, often inspired by nature.

Jeannine Rosenberg has developed and refined her silver smithing skills over the last 15 years. Arizona born and raised, her silver jewelry reflects the colour, geography and history of her background.
