My passion for art

Mary-Ann’s loves that she can spread joy by helping others create a beautiful piece of art they never even imagined they could produce. She also loves creating designs that she has printed on various products everyone gets to enjoy in her Monthly Subscription Box called “Favorite Things”.

“So, think of art as an adventure into the great unknown. There are many paths to choose from, and you just never know where they may lead. Try a few different paths and savour all that each will have to offer. After all, “You never know what you can do unless you try.” - Unknown

How it all began (By Mary-Ann)

"I have long been a maker of things, in my family it was just the norm. Dad was always building something from wood and Mom sewed and knit a lot of our clothing when we were young. There was also Granny and Nanny who were great makers as well. So, as you can imagine, the making of things seems to run in my blood. It is the best part of my day when I have the opportunity to retreat to my own space and create things."
