You can see Carol and her work at all 5 fairs this summer!

We are Wayne and Cindy MacPherson. We have enjoyed collecting sea glass from the shores of NS for several years. I make several creations with the sea glass and other things that we collect on our beachcombing trips. Creations like pictures, windchimes, suncatchers, jewelry, and other unique products. You never know what you'll find at our table. We try to keep our prices reasonable so everyone can enjoy them.

We hope to see you at the Art Fair this summer.

It is easy to forget the pleasure that color, texture, flowers, and yes...whimsy, bring to our lives.
Creating whimsical, colorful art has become my passion. I love flat images, very bright colors, and quirky patterns. The exuberance of my artwork can't help but give you a jolt of joy to brighten the day. I do hope you enjoy browsing this collection of whimsy.

She is originally from China and finds her muse in the serene St Mary's landscape, a significant shift from urban bustle to rural tranquility shaping her artistic narrative.

Her acrylic paintings blend post-impressionism's boldness with modern art's detail, employing vibrant colors and techniques that evoke the texture of oil paintings. They introduce depth and dimension using gel, paste, and the palette knife while applying rubbing alcohol resist techniques that bring complexity to the backgrounds.

My work has appeared in shows across the Maritimes and in galleries in both the United States and abroad. I have an interest in all kinds of media including stained glass, textile, printmaking, painting and a curiosity to learn other media. I am a member of Visual Arts Nova Scotia, and an active member of The Nova Scotia Printmaking association as well as a member of our local arts organizations.

I’ve returned now to the Maritimes, settling in Cape Breton where my parents were raised and where we came every summer to visit family.

I am super grateful that I can create here in my own little studio overlooking the Bras D’Or Lake, in Lime Hill. It is the best possible place I can imagine being.

I can’t ever find enough hours in the day to create and my mind is full of ideas without end. And that, in my opinion, is the best way to be.escription goes here

Kate Connors is an artist who focuses on painting, watercolour and printmaking, but loves exploring different mediums. She takes inspiration from wildlife, nature, landscapes, personal interests, and nostalgia.

I am a fabric artist who spent many years creating one-of-a-kind clothing and more recently have begun to play with fabric differently. I use cotton batik fabric and bark fiber paper to create images meant to evoke and inspire.
