Artist Profiles

---

 Jonathan's pieces are inspired by his three children and wife, Faith. We are proud to call Jonathan Hamiltons of Pelham's 2013 resident artist. 

 The late Colleen Madamombe was a women's advocate, leader in the Shona art movement, and master craftsman and artist. We are honoured to showcase her pieces. 

 Sam's pieces are whimsical, playful, and inspire a sort of childlike take on the world. Colour meets clever drawings and tickling imagery of a family she calls the Mustards. 

 Brighton stands as a renowned Zimbabwean sculptor, the protege of the late Daniel Muyurimi. His art speaks of raw passion and and intensity, a feast for the eyes​​​​. 

 Joe maintains that he was born a sculptor, and he gave up his study of public relations to pursue his passion full time. Joe is on of the most prominent names of second generation sculpting. 

 Angelo is one of the greatest glass blowers in the world, bringing the Venetian tradition to Niagara with his exquisite pieces in both the traditional and non traditional styles. 

 Vanassa's pieces speak of character, and his choice in stone is particularly interesting, with a wide variety of stone types and patterns. A very interesting artist. 

 Edmore’s trademark is fish and he usually works in colourful fruit serpentine or purple cobalt stone. His sculptures are very recognisable and are becoming very collectable as his work is included in more international exhibitions. 

 A Mississauga native, Frans specializes in "raku" art, a pottery firing technique that originated in Japan. His pieces speak of colour, elegance, and an artistic soul. 

   Didier Lourenço was born in 1968 in Premià de Mar, Barcelona. At the age of 19 he began working in the lithography atelier of his father, where he learned the trade of lithography.
