Michael Dorang

Michael has been playing with different art types all his life but it was when he found clay that he found his medium. The combinations of earth, water, and fire appeal to him on a primal level. Michael aspires to create pieces that combine form and function with unusual and playful finishes. Each of his pieces is unique and different. This has also lead Michael to explore jewelry making using natural elements such as clay, stone, shell and glass to create fun and unique pieces.

Patrick Jandard

Since retiring from the corporate world, Patrick has dedicated more time to one of his favorite hobbies: astrophotography.

Despite the challenges of Toronto light pollution and obstacles such as trees and buildings, taking pictures of galaxies and nebulas thousands of light years away from Earth (1 light year is about 9.461 trillion km...) has been a rewarding pastime.

Erin McGuire

Erin has become one of those people who carries a camera at all times and isn’t afraid to use it. My favourite subjects are historical portraits, architecture, graffiti and sunsets, and I enjoy reworking my artwork to see what new framings or renderings will create an entirely new experience. My current obsession is adding foil to my prints, bookmarks, pins and magnets for a flash of colour.
