Violette has a passion for bringing creativity into everything she touches. She lives her life out loud and by doing so inspires others to do the same. Sometimes her best advice is to "Let Silly in!"

Her work has appeared in Artella Magazine, Somerset Studio and a variety of other publications. She has designed a line of greeting cards, rubberstamps, scrapbooking illustrations and lettering.

Join Violette for a demonstration on collage techniques which can be used for journaling or altered books. Violette's demonstration will be followed by a Q&A session. For more information or to view Violette's work visit www.violette.ca

David has worked in pen and ink, watercolours, and has focused on acrylics for the last 14 years. His motive and inspiration is "to capture the essence of what I am seeing, with no redundancy and no hesitation".

David has been influenced by the Japanese master Hokusai, whose ambition was to live and paint until "every line and dot on the page is alive".

Stop by as David sets up his easel in our store to paint for a couple of hours, and ask him questions or just observe. For more information or to see examples of David's work visit www.haughton-art.ca
