OXVC is a collection of ceramic jewellery and objects that integrates Victoria’s design experiences into her ceramic practice. Her goal is to create timeless designs that are approachable and celebrate the materiality and processes in ceramics. Every piece is designed and meticulously made by hand in her Toronto studio. With a focus on craftsmanship and attention-to-detail, the collection is inspired by the interplay of geometric forms found in architecture, often playing with the idea of symmetry and asymmetry. |

My ongoing series of limited edition screen prints are a designed to resemble vintage advertising posters for imaginary food & beverage brands. Featuring playful original character designs and bright colours, these collectible hand-pulled prints are designed to add a visual splash to your kitchen decor. Pete Ellison is a visual artist, illustrator, printmaker and designer. Having grown up with the bright cartoons, arcade games, and breakfast cereals of the 80’s & 90’s, his art is a playful tribute to the aesthetics of consumer culture. His bold graphics remix visual references like brand mascots, candy packaging, and colourful trinkets of past decades into something new that’s both retro and timeless.

My work principally uses epoxy resin and paper. But what if I take paper waste and turn it back into something beautiful? Embed it in a chemical that ends up immortalizing its beauty, no longer toxic and no longer destroyable. My works are fixed, and permanent. Throughout the process, a slight error, a shift of my hand, or a piece of dust and it all remains preserved in the work forever.

My work has mainly been about documentation – of vanishing landscapes, and “disappearing viewpoints” of streetscapes and heritage structures. Lately I have been moved to try to capture “vignettes” suggesting the presence of people engaged in quiet moments of contemplation. All my drawings are initiated in pencil, on site and from life, and finished in the studio with a variety of materials. Some of these may be executed on a larger scale as paintings on canvas.

“I find inspiration in folded and draped fabric, and how form is revealed. I meticulously shape recycled sterling silver and gold to create undulating and flowing shapes. The lines between jewellery and art blur as I explore the contrast between the material—sharp, flat, and rigid metal—and the forms it then takes. What was once cold and unyielding becomes soft, voluminous, and graceful. The result is a piece that is both handmade jewellery and one-of-a-kind, wearable sculpture.

When creating, I enjoy making jewellery that is influenced by Filipino folklore and organic structures. My pieces reflect a movement that is creature-like, with self-inquiry as a catalyst. I shape-shift my mediums; playing with linear and abstract forms. Like Mayari, Filipino Goddess of the Moon, I illuminate and embrace all that is idiosyncratic and unruly.

Nicole’s works are created within an inherently mindful process, existing as both beautiful images to behold as well as subconscious reminders to pause and locate one’s centre amidst the chaos of life. Deeply inspired by the natural world as a reflection of the interior human landscape, Nicole’s paintings are layered and lush, thoughtful and evocative. Her two newest series, ‘Meditative Muses’ & ‘Trees of Life’ began as an exploration of creative expression as a form of meditation.

My desire to share the colours, textures and energy of the natural world has been with me since childhood. I delight via layers of colour and texture, which convey my playful nature. I love early morning light and the stark shadows it creates. The mediums have shifted: oils to acrylics to alcohol inks, but the focus is always nature. We know that walking in nature heals us. With these works, rooted in nature, I transfer the emotion, joy and peace that inspired them. I I hope my works bring you the peace of the natural world.

Most broadly, I am a representational painter, settling happily between impressionism and hyper-realism. I work predominantly in acrylic paints, with some mixed media experimentation. I am drawn to capturing sweeping landscapes, dramatic skies and scenes, most often photographed by myself, that strike me as particularly magical. In recent years, I’ve been enamoured with reflective surfaces, whether the wet sheen on fruit or the glimmer of a camera’s flash against a cocktail glass and due to this fascination, my work has expanded to include still-life pieces that, to me, savour the simple, yet marvellous, intricacies of our daily lives.

Working as a Graphic Designer for 20 years, as well as running my own studio helped develop a strong work ethic and a solid technical tool box. The designer in me loves simple shape and bold colour while the painter in me explores light, rhythm, and personal connection. I continue to play with a careful balance between my intellectual and intuitive self and have patiently developed my signature, semi abstracted spirited painting style that “feels” Canadian. My work hangs in reproduction in Canadian Embassies around the world, The Mayo Clinic as well as The AGO Art Rentals.

As a ceramic artist I specialize in slip casting due to my fascination with fractals, geometric patterning and organic forms. I have developed extensive 3D modelling techniques which are brought to life through 3D printing to create my molds. Glazing is an adventure, and I take joy in discovering the right balance between colour, melting and patterning. In order to balance my technologically oriented designs with more traditional craftsmanship I customize my glazes so they harmonize with my geometric pieces. My creative voice emerges from that sweet spot where craft and technology converge.

I create contemporary landscapes liberated from realism. They celebrate the spectacular of nature and positive energy with surprising and vibrant colours. Organic shapes and dynamic brushwork convey the natural high I experience when I explore nature and travels abroad. In my “mindscapes” series, I use “blind” contour drawings to set the composition with no photo reference. Mark making and painting with my imagination are employed to create something truly original, abstracted and dreamy, a new version of my reality!

I create pieces with watercolour or digitally. I always love adding my hand-drawn illustrations into any piece I am creating. All my watercolour cards are each hand-painted. Each piece of mine is one of a kind and I love creating custom art for my customers.

My multidisciplinary work focuses on nature-inspired creative processes and products and is rooted in themes of land, the feminine, connecting to the Creator and healing. My practice has roots in my background in theatre, film and community-engaged art: making things with people of all ages and midwifing creative process. My visual art is primarily digital at this time and is characterized by bright colours, organic forms, creatures and plants from my local environment. In addition to offering high quality archival prints and commissions, I currently produce and sell tote bags, notebooks, pencil cases and greeting cards with my patterns.

I consider myself an object maker playing on the thin line of form versus function. My ceramics investigate the risk of workmanship and boundaries of the material. Inspired by memories and daydreaming of what function could be, each pot is a stepping stone for the next |

Relief printing is a favourite medium as each time my drawing turns into an image entirely its own as the carving tools find what the pencil did not. I try to capture the individuality of each animal I portray. As we view them, they view us. I choose to print with black ink as it highlights the graphic lines I achieve when carving the image from sketch on the block.

I am an ethical Wildlife Photographer and I do not harass or bait wildlife or birds. All of my photographs are of wild animals, no captive animals. I have been published in Canadian Geographic on a number of occasions and my photographs used for educational purposes. I have sold many pieces with collectors across Canada and in Europe. One of my main focuses is on the Algonquin Wolf, also known as the Eastern Wolf. They are a Threatened Species here in Ontario. I also want to show my audience the amazing wildlife we have in Canada.

The most intriguing part of craft is its ability to intersect the boundaries of art and everyday life. My practice focuses on our relationship to the material, exploring the sensibility of porcelain to design objects that appeal to touch. I use various techniques, including hand-built and mold-made processes, to create finely crafted tableware and jewelry. I create unique objects that invite us to renew our appreciation of functional objects and the space they occupy in our lives. I am inspired by nature and minimalism to explore shapes and colours that bring out the beauty of the material

I’m working on a series of landscapes that attempt to capture human efforts to control environment and natural forces undermining control. Scenes alternate between mostly construction and human imposition vs artificial construction enmeshed/ overtaken by nature. I grew up in the suburbs and saw rapid development happening all around me. At an early age I learned that the nature I had been seeing was heavily influenced by human activity, and not the pure utopia I had once imagined. I had a childhood in these marginal spaces. The paintings document environment in flux.

Clay is a metaphor for how I live my life: I start each day with fresh eyes and an openness to what will unfold. I am inherently curious, seeing the potential to learn from every encounter and experience. I allow life to take shape organically rather than sticking to a rigid plan. No two pieces I create are alike. Each is unique, handmade with love and care. I heed the call to grow and learn as the clay takes shape in my hands. All items are food safe. A perfect gift for someone special – including you!”

Growing up, I was always connected to nature with the guidance of my grandmother and mother. The land and plants kept us grounded and connected. “My goal is to make everything around me beautiful, if it is not alive, I will make it beautiful, that will be my life.” I have always had an urge to create and explore new crafts and materials and I completely fell in love with the raw material. I love working with paper by creating textures and shaping my own organic form language. Paper is my way of telling stories of our beautiful surroundings. |

My designs seek to explore how ceramic objects can be containers of emotion, as well as how the simplicity of an object can be a complex expression. I think about the relationship between objects and the space they are surrounded by. I create functional pieces that can move beyond their function toward a sculptural installation.
