Sam Kinsley is an interdisciplinary artist of settler ancestry currently living and learning as an uninvited guest on the unceded Mi’kmaq territory in Nova Scotia. Sam studied at the University of British Columbia and the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design. Sam has been privileged to participate in artist residencies and exhibitions across Canada.

Jayme has been designing and producing printed material for arts, culture, and queer communities across Canada since 2007. After completing a design degree from OCADU, Jayme worked at several of Toronto’s top studios and publications. Jayme’s fascination with the interplay of language and typography has always informed their work, and eventually led them to Nova Scotia to pursue a Master of Design degree from NSCAD. A summer visit to friends in Lunenburg led to a permanent stay. Since 2021, they have been running the independent publishing company, Nevermore Press. 

Elizabeth Singer – Treasurer

Art has been my passion for many years. I paint in both oil and acrylic and a member of the Lunenburg Art Gallery. I have provided assistance to non-profit organizations that include Girl Guides of Canada, Cole Harbour Soccer Club, Portland Estates Residence Committee, as well as P-3 Site Steering Team – Portland Estates Elementary School.

After 19 years of working at Veterans Affairs Canada directly with Veterans and their families, I am now retiring.

I am immersed into the arts in various ways. I join the team at the Lunenburg Foundation for the Arts to help artists of Lunenburg County with assistance to achieve their artistic endeavours.
