My name is Gianna. I am an artist and teacher sharing the creative process of designing handcrafted art pieces made from wool fibres.
Born and raised in Guelph, Ontario, art has always been a huge part of my life. Coming from a family of creative people I was always spending time experimenting with different ways to make art. Using inspiration from neighbourhood gardens and favourite outdoor areas, I create vibrant nature themed pieces.
When creating my larger pieces, I enjoy restoring, repurposing and framing my creations with antique window frames that I collect from different places in Ontario. I do my best to maintain as much of the original window’s integrity while replacing the existing glass with premium anti-reflective AR70 art glass, making it scratch resistant and easy to clean. Each window frame is carefully hand picked and refurbished from old farm houses across southern Ontario. With a rich history behind each frame, no two pieces are alike. This allows for a truly unique art piece to colour any living space.
I create in my home alongside my two tuxedo cats and many lattes. I am a high school teacher who enjoys sharing the passion of creating with my students and am continually inspired by them.
My artistic goal is to create a style of artwork full of colour, texture and movement that can add life to any room. I believe a handcrafted piece of art can transform any space into feeling more inviting and special because it brings a high level of craftsmanship and most importantly, a story.
