Member Artists of Imagine That!
The co-op currently consists of members who operate the storefront. Members are also artists whose work is displayed in the store. We volunteer our time and expertise. For us it is a joy to be able to interact with the customers and the other artists, to share our knowledge of art, and to receive feedback from our visitors.

Mosaics
"The act of transforming little pieces of disparate glass into a 'painting' strikes me as magic. Stained glass offers a glorious colour palette and an equally wide range of textures. I am especially drawn to the reflective nature of glass, the way it creates movement and a feeling of 'aliveness.' "

Joyce Leroux, Director
Stained Glass windows, suncatchers and candleholders
"I enjoy the whole process from designing the pattern to choosing which glass I’m going to use and then putting the whole project together. The end product is always a surprise. There’s always a new piece of glass to be found that inspires you to create something new. The options are endless."

Enameling on Copper and Steel

Katie Daniel
Rag rugs, fabric arts
"I first learned to sew after Santa brought me a tiny working Singer sewing machine when I was about seven years old. I come from a long line of quilters and treasure those that have been created by my grandmothers, an aunt, and my Mom.I began making rag rugs about 25 years ago, inspired by those that used to be in the kitchen at my grandparents' farm. While those were woven on a loom, I chose to crochet mine and took advantage of bags full of fabric scraps to start.

Patti McNeice, Eclectic by Nature
Pottery
Patti makes imaginative pottery pieces. “My grandmother and my mother root my curiosity. Our three spirits dance when I create. It is a magical time; somewhat addictive, I must confess. I am inspired by pattern, textures, and the mystery of seeing something for what it is not. There are no artistic rules in my studio. Things happen by chance, without intention or influence. I move clay and colour around, then add curiosity with bling and bits.”.
