Dar Bassie-Cripps
Self-taught Mixed Media Collage Artist from Emsdale, Ontario, creating whimsical masterpieces infused with love and laughter.
Dar, is a Mixed Media Collage Artist extraordinaire, proudly calls Emsdale, Ontario her creative playground and home. Nestled three hours north of the hustle and bustle of Toronto, she finds inspiration in solitude in the land of maple syrup and apologies.
Her precision of a surgeon and the finesse of a magician, Dar wields her trusty tools: paper, scissors, glue, and paint, turning them into masterpieces that would make even Michelangelo do a double take. And get this, she didn’t need fancy art school to become the Picasso of her own backyard—she’s 100% self-taught!
Now, when Dar’s not busy crafting her amazing one of a kind greeting cards or Artist Trading Cards that could bring a tear to even the toughest of eyes, she’s basking in the glory of her little slice of heaven alongside her spouse, Abby, and their senior silky terrier, Spencer Tracy.
For those brave enough to enter her whimsical world of creativity, she offers a peek behind the curtain or you can plunge into Dar’s magical realm by owning one of her custom made designs and experiencing her fantastical creations. Every card is infused with love, laughter, and just a hint of maple syrup.
