Original art

Art gives a room personality, depth and character. It adds visual interest, evokes emotion and can be the focal point that ties a space together. These are the artists we’re proud to show in our Orillia showroom.

Apollo Aladis

Proudly Canadian with Greek origins, Aladis finds his artistic home in the dynamic city of Toronto. With an innate passion for expressing a rich spectrum of colours and textures, he weaves diversity into his creations. Beyond canvas and paint, he extends his creative flair to tattoos, using the human body as a canvas to further articulate his artistic vision.

John Oelrichs

An Oro-Medonte resident with a long and distinguished career in the arts, Oelrichs isn’t afraid to work outside the box. His paintings express different times and emotions from stages of his life, which is why his styles range so widely.

Giorgio Guagnelli

Rooted in Italian heritage, born in the vibrant culture of Mexico and now working in Barrie, Ontario, Guagnelli crafts distinctive case goods and sculpture. His pieces fuse those cultural influences into one-of-a-kind work.
