Meet the Team

Eli is a professional artist that works in a multitude of mediums, often combining them in his collage artworks and workshops.

As a self-employed entrepreneur with an Art History background from York University, Eli shares his interests of comic books, anime, hip hop and mythology through his creative ventures and playful banter.

When he’s not at the Market, Eli can be found biking around the city, thrift shopping, or cuddling his cat, Rugrat! You can see his work @elixshaw

Daniella is one of the managers at the Junction location. She loves the community of vendors, local shoppers, and diverse explorers the Junction Arts Market attracts, and the highlight of her day is often the conversations she gets to have at the counter. She likes to think of herself as a favourite neighbourhood NPC that can brighten your day.

An artist experimenting with linocut, mixed-media, and digital art, she loves vivid colours and fantastical imagery. She can often be found labouring over a new print run or celebrating a new sticker design. You can find her work at the Junction store and on Instagram @the.dreaming.hare

Susan is a professional artist, jewelry designer and seeker of ‘the good life’!

Her favourite thing to do is to spend quality time with her family.  Thrifting with her daughter, cooking with her husband and laughing with her mother. She has also experienced a fun career as a performer, puppeteer, props/puppet builder and scenic artist in Toronto’s theatre scene!

Susan has her art and accessories available at Arts Market Junction location where she also works on Sundays.

Rebecca works at the gorgeous sunny Danforth Arts Market as the Sunday Assistant, but you can find her at all of the markets covering for her coworkers or spending her pay-check shopping. She has written two novels and loves to make jewelry in her spare time.

You can always spot her by her brightly coloured hair and even brighter smile. She can’t wait to see you around!

Randi is a performer, writer, and arts producer with a passion for connecting with people & communities! Randi enjoys trying out new artistic mediums, writing silly little stories, and collecting cute vintage items that make them smile.

Krissy is one of our managers at the College St location and is delighted to be part of an amazing workplace and community.   They love connecting with people and would absolutely enjoy chatting about your current hyperfocus.

They are an artist/illustrator and describe their art as memento mori with colour and glitter, spooky cute macabre.  Glitter goth with a restless brain and morbid curiosity. Haunted Absurdity.   Check out their Instagram @jadorra_art.

When they are not at Arts Market or making art, they can usually be found lost in a book or at the beach collecting pretty rocks.

Aleks was a costume and lighting designer in theatre, a wedding and birth photographer, and now runs Dear Ela Vintage out of the Danforth and College Arts Market locations—talents she mostly uses for rad Halloween costumes for her kids and pretty nifty animal crossing islands.

Aleks is a mom, a homeschooler, and can most often be found on the couch with her dog, Freya. You can see her on Sundays at the College location! Check out her wares @dearelavintage

Maricris is a comedy and theatre performer, producer and musician. You can find her performing with the multidisciplinary ensemble, the Tita Collective, working on smaller theatre productions or catching local musicians at different venues across the city.
