Partners in art and life, Michael & Ruth Ann launched the Chatham Creative Company from their shared studio in a small Ontario town on the banks of the Thames River.

When they fell in love way back in design school, they also fell into a creative relationship that’s helped them build an artful life.

Now, over 20 years later, here they are with two degrees, two sons, and two decades of art and design experience—with valued clients around the corner and around the world.

They are playful, but professional.

Ruth Ann is a visual storyteller who brings her magic touch to each project.

Her patient skills and artistic intuition bypass the ordinary every time.
