My Values
All lamps are created with quality and precision. Special attention is paid to detail, as it is
very important that all customers are completely satisfied with their creative
lamp. Creativity is key, as it is a
significant component of my business and allows me to create new lamp styles
and designs to suit everyone’s needs.
About Mandy
My name is Mandy and I am the artist behind Creative Lamps by Mandy. I have always been a creative person with a strong desire to be unique. In 2000, I took my first Folk Art painting class and I haven’t put my paint brushes down since.
My inspiration for painting on glass blocks came in 2005 from one of Saskatoon’s great Folk Art Artists, Holly Hanley. I spent several years painting Holly’s fun Textured Bear patterns. I loved working with the glass blocks so much that I decided to come up with my own different and unique ideas.
I love decorating with black and so I began painting silhouette patterns. It started with the basic Bird Welcome lamps and went in the direction of intricate Wedding patterns that were personalized with names and dates. Of all the hand-painted lamps, the Wedding Lamps became most popular with my customers.
As my business began to grow and the busier I became, I realized that as much as I loved painting on the blocks, it is extremely time consuming. Therefore, I decided that I would come up with another design concept for the glass blocks. I began working with the idea of transferring photos onto the blocks. After much trial and error, the concept of Glowing Memories became a reality and is now one of my biggest successes at Creative Lamps.
In November of 2013, the idea of Illuminated Expressions as part of a wedding event rental line was created. These lamps include words or phrases that are painted on multiple blocks. They have turned out better than I ever could have imagined and are stunning to display on Welcoming tables as guests arrive. I have also designed a few Illuminated Cake Stands to be included in this unique line of wedding event rentals.
My passion is painting, but my true love is my family. I am a mom to three amazingly wonderful kids that keep me incredibly busy all on their own. I feel quite blessed to be able to run my own business from home as it allows me to have the best of both worlds.
I am so grateful for my family, friends, and valued customers who have supported me while my business has started and grown. My biggest thank you must go out to my husband, Jon, who has always been encouraging of my ideas and creations even when it meant he had to take on the cooking and cleaning!
I love what I do, and I look forward to creating many more unique keepsakes.
Thanks for visiting!!
