Galina Lebedeva
Landscapes · Still lifes · Moments from nature
I have worked in an animation studio, spent many years working as a photographer, and have always painted.
Painting has been my passion since I was five years old. It all began with sketches of family members, animals at the zoo, and illustrations for fairy tales. Over time, my artistic interests expanded: I began painting landscapes and still lifes, creating comics, and exploring many other forms of artistic expression.
I love fleeting experiences that bring joy, — a butterfly in flight, a flower in bloom — and I want to capture these moments with brush and canvas. I love Impressionist painting and admire real skill.
John’s Bees
Labrine / John Paravolos · Clover & wildflower honey
John is a very passionate beekeeper hobbyist. He keeps his bees on his friend’s beautiful property which backs onto the Oak Ridges Moraine.
The bees are foraging on clover and wildflowers.
Clover and wildflowers produce some of the highest quality, most flavourful honey.
John prefers the old-fashioned, natural approach to bee health. He avoids using harsh chemical pesticides.
Keeping bees with that level of respect and philosophy is exactly what sustainable apiculture is all about. John’s hobby is truly a labour of love!

Hand-dyed · Woven Rattan Baskets
I have been weaving baskets for over 30 years and teaching throughout Southern Ontario for the past 20 years. I have a longstanding appreciation for the beauty and functionality of hand-woven baskets and often collect baskets during my travels.
I enjoy designing baskets that incorporate a variety of weaving techniques, materials, and colours. Reed, also known as rattan, is my preferred material, and whenever possible, I incorporate my own hand-dyed reed into my work.
I am happiest sharing this traditional craft with students who are eager to learn something new and leave with a basket they can truly be proud of. Through teaching, I hope to pass on my knowledge and skills while inspiring others to develop a deeper appreciation for the ancient artistry and enduring beauty of basketry.
