ARTIST IN RESIDENCE:
Cindy Kelly creates custom jewelry, decor items and sculpture from reclaimed silver. Every piece she uses evolves as she dusts it off and re-imagines its beauty. Through a change in perspective, a fork becomes a ring or a set of spoons is transformed into a candleholder Everything she makes is up-cycled from things that are previously unloved, forgotten or that have simply become irrelevant over time. It is her hope that she can breathe new life into these things through uncovering their innate beauty.
shop
Annex has a large variety of gifts, original artwork and plants for you to enjoy. The Annex Artists Collective is a group of 12 artists that bring individuality and uniqueness to our space.
We also have a great selection of indoor plants and planters from Tanya List, art books and specialty items that can’t be found anywhere else in Muskoka!
Tanya has had a crush on flowers for years now. It’s an obsession really!
Whether it is wedding florals, interior design or adding a unique painting or pot to your space, Tanya does it all. Professionally designing since 2001, Tanya has landed in Annex as a permanent space for her gorgeous selection of indoor plants and pots.
You may catch her also getting muddy in our ceramics studio as she turns out unique vessels for your wedding or home!
Plants can be specially ordered in store or contact Tanya List directly for your wedding needs!
