Steve Gerow was born to be an artist! He has been creating since he was a child, using art as a way of healing. Growing up he was faced with numerous medical challenges, and during those times where he needed an escape or a way to “get through the day” he would turn to his art for comfort. As a result, over the last 40 years he has created some beautiful pieces that are now being enjoyed all over the globe. 

Steve met Dee in 2017 on a whim, and together they embarked on a journey to share the joys of creating with everyone! In the early days of 2020 when The Creative Company Paint Kits were born, Steve was hand drawing them by the thousands, and doing zooms with people across Canada sharing his passion and love of art with others. 

Today he is proud to say that he is a “Full Time Artist” living his dream come true by getting to create for himself, and others. In his spare time he loves hiking with his partner Janine, chilling with his dog Baxter and hunting for records to add to his never-ending collection. 

As a teenager, Simone met Dee and worked together during what they call “The Partylite Days”, and formed an instant connection. Several years later, Simone was brought on board at The Creative Company to work on the Production team. This new environment was a breath of fresh air for Simone, and she loved learning about Indigenous Culture from some of the artists on staff and ended up becoming a natural for our Customer Service front end. She currently heads the Customer Accounts Manager role, ensuring top notch service and follow up.

Simone enjoys spending time with her husband Cecil, their dog Lexi and with her family. Traveling and camping are important in their lifestyle as well. She most enjoys sitting on a tropical beach, sipping tasty beverages.

Growing up, Angela had very little access to brushes, paints, and canvas due to her location, the cost of materials, lack of available space, and the limited income of her family so it was not until 2010 that she finally decided to purchase these items for herself and begin exploring the world of acrylic painting. Most recently, she has begun exploring the stained glass medium.

Angela is a self-taught artist and the work she currently does is inspired by the people in her life. She starts each new piece with a friend, family member, or specific person in her thoughts and continues thinking about them throughout the painting process. As a result she is always happy with the final image. While she is still developing her own style as an artist, she would describe it as influenced by First Nations/Woodland styles but with her own feminine twist to the colours, lines, and forms.

Fusing styles influenced by culture, nature, personality, and interior design while incorporating trend forward colors are her specialty. Nature is very much the foundation to her creations, and she is known as “the chameleon” in the industry for producing a variation of unique styles with her diverse techniques.
