Talia and Gayla
For Talia, making art is soothing. For Gayla, it carries her to a place unrestricted by time and untethered from responsibility. Both enjoy the feeling of being completely absorbed in the exploration of materials and discovery of what’s possible.
When not making art, Talia likes to trike, hike, climb, swim, play board games, do puzzles, and listen to music. Gayla enjoys baking, mountain biking, gravel riding, and winter hiking.
Talia and Gayla follow Rita on IG. They love when her artwork pops up in their feed and are delighted to be part of her art friends circle.
Talia and Gayla invite you to view their artwork on FB or IG @SideStreet.Art

Featured Guest Artist for Winter 2023 is
J Positive
The two years of COVID were difficult for Joel, as his long-time kitchen job and all his other in-person programs were discontinued. However, he took that opportunity to spend more time on his art and was encouraged to launch his Art By J Positive store in February 2022. This has given Joel a newfound sense of pride.
Although Joel and Rita live in different cities, it is exciting to be connected with Rita via Instagram and to encourage one another’s artistic exploration. Joel is so very grateful to be considered one of Rita’s friends.

Featured Guest Artist for Fall 2022 is L’Arche London
L’Arche London runs both online and in-person Art classes, allowing people of all abilities to express themselves through personal-preferred art mediums.
These pieces of varied art are typically created together to make one. It is a concept we have chosen to call ‘Art Around Table,’ where all participants contribute their creativity to a larger masterpiece. These become our community-engaged art for everyone to enjoy.

Featured Guest Artist for Spring 2022 is Miriam
She is a young woman of many talents. She is a pianist, hiker, music lover, fitness buff, equestrian. Art is, however, top of the list. Life is one big canvas and we should throw as much paint as possible on it.
Featured Guest Artist for Winter 2022 is Carolyn
Carolyn loves to do laundry and in fact uses “The Laundry Expert” in her signature line. When she is not doing laundry or busy at a program, Carolyn loves to make art independently. She is talented at sketching, designing, painting, collaging and really enjoys working with all types of media. She is a very outgoing young lady who is a whiz with computers and apps.
