Marilyn was born and raised in Manitoba. She graduated with a B.Sc. from the University of Manitoba, and worked in the Information Technology field in several provinces in Canada. She has called Richmond home since 1991. After retirement in 1996, Marilyn became interested in decoupage. She is self-taught and developed her own techniques for designing, applying the cutouts and finishing the surface of the pieces. The finish is built up through many applications of three types of varnish. While her goal is to make attractive " table art " for the home, she also wants her work to be functional and useful over a long period of time, and she wants it to be fun. This gave her the idea of making coasters that fit together like a puzzle to solve. She also creates pots, serving trays and napkin rings using the same decoupage techniques. At present, Marilyn divides her time between her decoupage craft and free-lance writing

Julius has always been fascinated with the beauty of natural wood but it wasn't until he retired that he tuned this interest into a pastime of creating turned bowls, boxes and trays. He uses exotic and local wood to create bowls, boxes and trays. His new use of blue and black aloes with inlay of Tagua Nut, which looks like ivory, allows him to add west coast scenes to the tops of the boxes. These incredible boxes and trays depict mountains, ocean and the orca whale, while his bowls are a combination of various exotic woods of differing colours. Each one more unique than the other. Proceeds from sales of his work are put towards the preservation of wildlife.
