Meet Our Producing Members
Alexane Carrobourg
Growing up in Gravelbourg, all of the art surrounding Alexane has inspired her to create since a young age. She loves to experiment with new mediums and make pieces out of them thanks to the availability of techniques and lessons online. Her favourite part about making art is the problem solving side of it; by adapting techniques you already know to the needs of the project. When Alexane isn’t trying out a new hobby she’s either reading or out on a walk with friends. She can’t wait to see what artistic discoveries and knowledge she learns in the future.
Anna Smandych
Anna is the one-woman show behind Abigail Road, where she creates clothing, accessories and fabric art by repurposing vintage and thrifted materials. When she isn't creating, she can be found playing with her children, in her yard with her plants and a book, or dreaming of a quiet life in a cabin by the water where she writes novels, swims and talks to the birds.
Ariel Haug
Ariel’s current areas of creative exploration include traditional European baking, landscape photography, painting, and collage. When not dabbling in arts and crafts, Ariel usually has her nose in a book and dreams of owning a bookstore/bakery/gallery so that she can spend every day surrounded by her favourite things - books, baked goods, and beautiful art!
To see more of Ariel and her art, check her out on Instagram.
Dolorés Ferraton
Dolorés will work (or play) with any material that be either nailed, molded, glued, soldered or sewn. For the past 20 years, her greatest passion has been stained glass. Since moving to Saskatchewan, she has found her greatest inspiration in nature and the ever-changing glow of the Prairie skies.
Dominique Ferraton
Dominique Ferraton is an artist from Montréal, QC who now lives in an old church in Gravelbourg, SK. Through photography, drawing and sound art, she explores our relationship with our environment. Her focus is most often on the pockets of wilderness all around us and the ways in which we transform, perceive or are affected by these spaces. She owns lots of old cameras, loves foraging for edible plants, and thinks audio editing is magic.
Elvira Gunther
Elvira Gunther is a painter originally from Montreal. She has done a wide range of work including abstract charcoal drawings, street portraits, comics, studies of animals and plants, murals, moody landscapes and whatever strange images come into her mind. Her main media are charcoal, graphite, pen and ink, watercolour, and acrylic gouache.
Elyse Samoisette
Growing up on a farm, Elyse was always finding material to make art with. Using pieces from the old barn, yard, garden, greenhouse and anywhere else. Then creating with staples, magazines, nails, cross-stitching, string, knitting, acrylic paint, sewing, old furniture, screws, beads, clay, wire and large amounts of white glue usually listening to music. Passing the time creating window art, teddy bear clothes, new furniture, jewellery, babysitting, picking tomatoes in the greenhouse and caring for animals. Seeing the potential in old objects to create new art and adding to a collection of collections. Presently, she's working as an early childhood teacher and still creating art from various materials. She combines her love of teaching, music, plants, animals and art to share with her 2 young children and students. Creating macramé, sewing, giving furniture a new life, a salamander, fish and always plants are some of the latest projects for Craft E Corner while still using ridiculous amounts of white glue and acrylic paint.
Erin McArthur
Erin is someone who is a master of none and a dabbler in everything.
Starting her creative journey as a child who loved crafts and creativity of all kinds, to working professionally as a hairstylist, moving on to the art of making hula hoops as well as hooping, to acting in community theatre, she now mostly facilitates others in being creative with volunteering, workshops, concerts and plays. Finding time for a paint night here or a little sewing project there will always be a much needed artistic outlet but digging around in the dirt during the warmer months painting her thumbs green is her favourite.
Isidora Eva
Isidora is a self taught creative who tries all mediums and styles. She has been into art since early childhood. Izzie has always loved any chance to create and have fun, if she's not creating she's either reading or outside on the farm. Isidora works with kids and loves watching kids find their way through their creative journey, so having a place like this where all ages can go express their creativity is something she loves to be apart of and support. Growing up homeschooled, Isidora has always been very interested in slowing down and learning various ways of creating. Although she has only just started her journey with sharing her art publicly, Izzie is doing more and more everyday and will be continuing to do more local events.
Joyce Andersen
I have had an interest in art since childhood but never the time to dedicate to it. I first learned about inks in 2019 from a local lady, Wanda Knoss, that gave a day's lesson, and I fell in love with the medium. Covid hit and inks filled my spare time. Then it filled my imagination. I have no formal training outside of a drawing course in college several decades ago. I was born on the British Columbia coastline in 1955, moved to Northern Alberta in 1975, and then to South Saskatchewan in 2015. Each location has inspired me and the individual beauty and unique flavour underwrites my art.
Keirsten Eva
Keirsten is an artist residing in middle of nowhere, Saskatchewan. Her main art medium is
the art of fermentation and food preservation. She is also a soaper and dabbler of all things
crafty and artsy. Her passion is in the local, sustainable, natural and traditional elements but
most importantly sharing the love of art with her three children.
Lacey Langlois
Lacey Langlois is a self-taught artist who works with acrylics and many other mediums. Her artwork focuses on the female form, portraiture, wildlife and any other subjects that inspire her!

Rodney Wuetherick
Rodney Wuetherick has been throwing and building pots for over two decades. He studied with Alberta artist Tony Bloom, then ran a group artist studio and small gallery in East Vancouver before coming to Saskatchewan. Rod's work comprises everything from fully functional ware like plates and mugs (dishwasher safe and in food-safe glazes), to one-off sculptural vases and hand-built pieces. He works mainly in porcelain and gas-fires his work with glazes he has developed himself. His aesthetic is inspired by the glazes in use for many centuries and the wabi-sabi (Japanese term for the beauty of imperfections) found in traditional Asian ceramics.
Sara Rouffiange
Sarah originally hails from France, and grew up in British Columbia. She's a big city gal with
a small-town heart. Nothing inspires her more than beautiful landscapes from the West
Coast scraggly trees and waves, to the golden prairies and sunsets, to lavender fields and
the bright colours of Provence, France. Getting her start in art was easy with the support and
encouragement of her parents starting very young. She learned her foundations from her
great aunt Pierina Zanardo, a well-known northern B.C. watercolourist, as well as from
courses at Art's Umbrella and Emily Carr Institute in Granville Island, Vancouver. Sarah has
sold and gifted work informally through commissions based on client photographs (mostly
landscapes) throughout the years, and looks forward to expanding her style with oil painting
classes with Teresa Williams, local workshops, and GAC events! When not at her sun-room
murphy-table art studio, she can be found chasing her kids around, teaching, doing yoga,
scolding her kitties, and playing outside!
