Tara Hunt
Tara Hunt
lives in Port Dufferin, NS, and she is a self-taught artist whose work draws
on, and celebrates, many elements of her mixed English, French and Mohawk
background. From her native roots comes a love of beading, of natural beauty,
and of working with natural materials. She combines these with a European
aesthetic, a sometimes quirky sense of whimsy, and a love of spiritual
expression, to create works that some have called archetypically Canadian. She
works in several media, including photography, sculpture, digital art,
painting, leathercraft, and jewellery-making. She and her husband, Keith
Spears, market their wares under the business name of Lily Pond Designs.

Connie's water drop photography is a labour of love.
"I love capturing a moment in time that is so pure and present but usually never seen with the naked eye. The beauty of these small worlds always amaze me, as they are ever changing and always a challenge to capture. All of my water drops are done in camera using a macro lens and extension tubes and focusing rails and off camera speed light. My images are not superimposed in Photo shop. What you see in the water drop is a refraction from the background, i am using the drop as a lens. I also use refelction from the background to give the water colour in some of my images."
Connie Publicover is a retired hairdresser who was born in Nova Scotia and lives on the Eastern Shore.

Ruth Wilson

Wilson is inspired by nature, everyday life and of course, her
imagination. Her passion for crafts
would be divided in several areas. Stained glass is one of her great passions,
preferring 3-dimensional projects. In beading, she leans towards culturally
inspired themes. "Off the Wall" is how she describes her driftwood
wind chimes.
