Meet the Artistic Minds Behind Your Next Statement Piece

• Brandy Saturley (Victoria, BC): If you bleed maple syrup and proudly sport a red and white toque come winter, then Brandy Saturley’s art is for you. Coined as “the Voice of Canadian Pop Art,” Brandy celebrates everything we love about Canada – its iconic landscapes, diverse wildlife, and even the legendary sport of hockey. Picture yourself sporting a pair of Campinas low-tops featuring the majestic Canadian Rockies or a playful depiction of a hockey player in action – a true ode to Canadian pride that’s sure to turn heads wherever you roam.

• Tay Odynski (Calgary, Alberta): Forget paint-by-numbers, Tay Odynski’s artistic magic lies in the freedom of expression. Her signature style, defined by captivating drips and splatters of paint, promises a truly unique and personal touch to your Grounded People shoes. Imagine a pair of Matao low-tops where each splatter tells a story, a reflection of your own creative spirit.

• Kate Zessel (Whistler, BC): Nature lovers, rejoice! Kate Zessel draws inspiration from the majestic mountains that surround her Whistler home, capturing the essence of the wilderness in her art.
