Built Around Creativity
Located in the heart of Almonte, this layered creative space brings together original encaustic artwork, mixed media exploration, curated decor, artistic gifts, creative workshops, and collected finds through the evolving artistic vision of Christina Lovisa.
The lovisART Boutique
Part artist studio, part retail experience, and part creative gathering place, the shop was designed to feel immersive, inspiring, and a little unexpected. Visitors will find original encaustic artwork, fine art prints, artistic lifestyle pieces, tactile decor, creative supplies, meaningful gifts, and thoughtfully curated objects layered throughout the space.
More than simply a place to shop, it is a space designed to be explored slowly; a world filled with texture, colour, storytelling, wax, layered materials, and artistic discovery around every corner.
Located in downtown Almonte, the space continues to evolve alongside Christina’s artistic practice, blending creativity, curiosity, and everyday living into one welcoming environment.
Creative Experiences
Creativity sits at the centre of everything Christina creates. Alongside original artwork and curated collections, visitors can explore immersive encaustic workshops, mixed media classes, online learning experiences, retreats, and creative mentorship opportunities designed to encourage experimentation, exploration, and artistic confidence.
From hands-on wax and mixed media workshops to self-paced online classes and international retreats, these experiences invite people to step deeper into the creative process in a warm, approachable, and inspiring environment.
Whether you are a practicing artist, a curious beginner, or simply someone drawn to creativity and beautiful spaces, there is room to explore.
About Christina Lovisa
Christina Lovisa is a Canadian mixed media and encaustic artist, creative educator, and creative entrepreneur whose artistic journey began in 2007 after responding to a deep calling to create and make the world a more beautiful place.
Working across encaustic beeswax, acrylic paint, photography, found-object assemblage, and layered mixed media, Christina creates soulful contemporary artwork rooted in texture, symbolism, emotional connection, and storytelling. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and shows throughout Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, and New York City, and her artwork has found collectors around the world.
Her international clientele includes organizations such as Cirque du Soleil and the Michael Jackson Estate, while galleries and licensing partnerships across North America continue to represent both her original works and fine art prints.
Over the years, Christina has also become widely recognized as a mixed media and encaustic educator, helping artists deepen their creative practice through immersive workshops, online learning, retreats, mentorship, and artistic exploration.
As Christina describes it:
“I make art because I have to. It is my life’s current expression of itself where words seem to fail, and images speak louder and more clearly on my behalf.”
