Marianne K Palmer
Marianne started out her creative calling as a Printed Textile Designer in the UK, but relocating to Canada introduced her to new landscapes that she couldn’t resist painting. Living in Chilliwack, BC, she’s inspired by the colour and beauty all around and paints landscapes, flowers and abstracts. With abstracts, she loves playing with unexpected outcomes, starting a painting and not knowing how it will finish. With landscapes and flowers, she loves deciding what to filter in or out, painting realistically or maybe exaggerating colours; finding that sweet spot where it just makes you smile
Shirin Moarefi
Since I was a child, I was always fascinated about art and the story behind it. Growing up, I found my own inner voice to express myself with colors and shapes. My biggest inspiration is my feelings and my inner child. Art truly brings joy into my life and makes me very happy. When I paint I feel free and limitless. That is the biggest reason behind me creating. I feel alive letting go of all my emotions. I hope you will join me on my journey to create and make the world more colourful.

Lori Anne McKague
“To ask what if, is to stretch the imagination... for curiosity truly is the heart of creativity.”
Retiring to a mountaintop in Chilliwack, BC, Canada, after 40 years as a successful graphic designer, Lori’s creative curiosity found new avenues of expression, fed by her passion for travel, and the beautiful wilderness around her. Perpetually armed with art journal and pen, Lori found herself channeling each new adventure into visions of shape and movement, which flowed as ink to paper into a series of other-worldly creations she christened “Doodles.”
Erin Desjardine
Erin has lived on both ends of Canada, but both she and her heart are from the Manitoban prairies. She turned to creative outlets in an attempt to clear an overly busy brain, and to try to break a lifetime habit of overthinking. Sharing her art, and experiencing the art of others, is a passion for Erin. Creativity, and exploration through creativity and imagination, often get pushed to the side in our busy lives,but Erin believes they are the foundation and fuel that help us get through the tough times life sends us.
