I was born in Vancouver, and I studied at the Vancouver School of Art and later on at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.

Born in Saskatchewan in 1941. I do large format black & white photographs of Canadian landscapes. I have had work in over 160 exhibits in Ontario and have also shown work in Alberta and Quebec and in the USA and the United Kingdom. I taught photography at KWCVS in Kitchener for 22 years, and part time at Conestoga College.

Colour and Light features unique, abstract glass art by Erin Moffat. A former research chemist, Erin enjoys the fusion of science and art. She draws inspiration from nature for much of her work, and also likes to geek out a bit with her fun molecule-themed pieces. Erin’s fascination with Celtic imagery also shines through in her intricate knotwork in glass, and she is trying to save the environment one bottle at a time with beautiful, functional items made from recycled bottles.

Shantell, aka The ShanMonster, is a multi-disciplinary artist. She is constantly creating and studying, working in such disparate visual media as acrylics, china painting, sumi-e, ink, pencil, decoupage, collage, and soft pastels.
She is also a playwright, poet, essayist, fiction writer, dancer (belly dance, poi, voi, aerialist, etc.), costume designer, loom knitter, tablet weaver, cook, gardener, world traveler, athlete, and compulsive bookworm. She studies music theory and classical voice (opera). She is very busy.
In the past, she’s worked as a figure model, radio and club DJ, music promoter, craft workshop instructor, comic/game shop manager, botanic illustrator, personal trainer, and stable mucker.
When she grows up, she wants to be a space marine.

Esther’s mission is to replace the plastic milk jug in every home with a beautiful artistically crafted clay jug. She also produces a wide variety of functional pottery including mugs, plates bowls, and serving pieces. When you visit, you will have a chance to play with clay and help to produce a community pot. The community pot from last year will also be on display.

I have been making chain maille jewellery for three years. This year I have branched out into bead work and will also have bead bracelets and ear rings on sale. I am looking forward to the Central Art Walk again this year.

A collection of practical and whimsical re-purposed items brought back to life from some of nature’s most alluring fibres, including wool, leather, sheepskin moccasins and slippers; fabled figures, decorations and toys; a selection of jewelry inspired by nature, myth and legend.

Andre Campbell is a writer and blogger who has Cerebral Palsy. This doesn’t define Andre, but will allow you to appreciate his incredible accomplishment in creating this graphic novel.
He graduated from high school in 2010, and presently lives on his own in Cambridge, Ontario. Like many young people, Andre didn’t love his high school experience. In many ways, he was a normal, angst-y teenager, but if you asked him, he would say that he was made to feel pretty different.
Campbell’s peers used his disability and sexual orientation to bully him. Adding issues related to his Cerebral Palsy to this constant insensitivity it became almost too much to handle. But Andre soldiered through.
After finishing high school, things got better for Andre. Nothing changed overnight, but things did change, and they continue to improve. Good changes are possible for anyone, no matter who they are!
