You have to read about them: Corinne and Gary Funk. They live in their home on wheels, affectionately named 'ARTY'. They have a cat too. They also have a website and that's what they are building. They came through my home town and asked for a studio visit. I was so excited to finally meet them for real! It was a great visit. They stopped in to interview Judy Wood (photo & mixed media) and Paige Mortensen as well (batik paintings now on display at Handmade House).
Knowing they travel light and live small, I thought the best thing for me to do for them would be to offer some apple cider and let them pick a bag of apples after the visit. I told them, 'I'm interviewing you, so I don't have to be nervous about you interviewing me'. And out came my camera...
Cute hey!? : ) They came from BC and are headed toward Manitoba. Imagine that small space they live in. I suppose they likely never fight over housework. Lucky them! : )
They were really great. THANK YOU BOTH. They don't have the 'marketplace' up yet, but that is their goal. If you are a Canadian Artist and you are interested in finding out more, you can go to
You can watch a video about how they got started, and find out about the give-away contest they are doing, in the way of a Treasure Hunt! : )
Safe travels! Enjoy the apples.
