Upcoming Features
Meet Christelle Aoun—a full-time mom, artisan, treasure hunter, and fabric whisperer based in beautiful Montreal. She transforms forgotten fabrics into one-of-a-kind clothing and crafts unique jewelry that adds the perfect finishing touch to any outfit.
For years, Christelle balanced a 9-to-5 routine while dreaming of a life centered around creativity. Eventually, she took the leap. Now, she spends her days immersed in gorgeous textiles and stunning materials, designing pieces that tell a story. For her, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything she creates.
Each piece she designs is a little adventure. Guided by the materials themselves, she blends patterns, textures, colors, and details into something truly original. Nothing is mass-produced, and no two pieces are alike—just wearable art with heart and soul.
When she's not in her creative zone, Christelle cherishes time with her two amazing kids, explores local markets, and connects with fellow art lovers to share her work and passion.
Caroline Pinsonnault - Bar Milton Bar - August
An emerging and self-taught artist, Caroline is gently navigating the early stages of a career in the art world. Based in Saint-Hyacinthe, she pursued some studies in the field before diving into her own artistic journey. Her long-term goals include creating merchandise that highlights her designs, discovering the art world beyond her hometown, and [finally!] mastering how to use a printer!
Often (too often) grounded in reality, her illustrations allow her to escape into her own inner world, free from the limits and trivialities of real life. Her “creatures” emerge entirely from her imagination and offer her a kind of escape. Her artistic approach is, therefore, a perfect blend of the fantastical and the strange.
Shelley is a Montréal based illustrator and tufting artist. She has been drawing and crafting ever since she can remember. Her art is a manifestation of the little world in her head, hence the vibrant colours and dreamlike themes. Her biggest inspirations are nature, still life photography, and vintage art deco posters. Her art style is defined by vibrant colour combinations and clean line work. She likes to explore themes of surrealism, feminism, independence, and friendship.
Shelley’s illustrations have been published in zines and participated in exhibitions. She has collaborated in several creative projects and wishes to inject her unique vision into more art mediums in the future.
