Upcoming Features
Meet Christelle Aoun—a full-time mom, artisan, treasure hunter, and fabric whisperer based in beautiful Montreal. She transforms forgotten fabrics into one-of-a-kind clothing and crafts unique jewelry that adds the perfect finishing touch to any outfit.
For years, Christelle balanced a 9-to-5 routine while dreaming of a life centered around creativity. Eventually, she took the leap. Now, she spends her days immersed in gorgeous textiles and stunning materials, designing pieces that tell a story. For her, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything she creates.
Each piece she designs is a little adventure. Guided by the materials themselves, she blends patterns, textures, colors, and details into something truly original. Nothing is mass-produced, and no two pieces are alike—just wearable art with heart and soul.
When she's not in her creative zone, Christelle cherishes time with her two amazing kids, explores local markets, and connects with fellow art lovers to share her work and passion.

Amanda Fiore - Cafe Mina Mina - July
Amanda Fiore is a Montreal-born artist and illustrator whose work is rooted in nature, nostalgia, and her imaginative world Poppicot. Her soft, detailed coloured pencil illustrations are shaped by a quiet curiosity and a deep appreciation for the beauty in the everyday. Her work invites viewers into a world that feels both tender and slightly surreal — grounded in reality, but viewed through a dreamlike lens.
Fiore's art will be on consignment at Cafe Mina Mina for the month of July. All pieces are available for purchase directly through the artist.






Carolina Campo - Yo & Co Espresso Bar - July
Carolina Compot is an illustrator who works mostly with watercolour, creating soft, nature-inspired pieces that tell quiet stories. Starting with a loose sketch and building up layers of colour to capture mood and movement, she creates work that feels both gentle and expressive. Finding inspiration in everyday moments, travel, and the natural world, she aims to bring a sense of calm and connection through her art.






Alejandra Sanchez - Cafe St. Henri (Verdun) - July
Originally from Manizales, Colombia, Alejandra Sanchez Vallejo (2004) is an emerging artist currently studying at Concordia University, pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in Studio Arts. Passionate about painting, she primarily works with gouache and oil paint. Inspired by nature and animals, she begins her artistic process with photography, capturing everyday scenes that she later transforms into paintings, revealing beauty in the ordinary.
