Lover's Tempo
Full Circle Artist Program
As part of our goal to create a more sustainable business, we’re exploring ways to design a full lifecycle for our products. Through our Full Circle Artist Program, our ultimate goal is to inspire art, creativity and dialogue around sustainability.
To do this, we collaborate with Canadian artists who incorporate any damaged pieces of jewelry or discarded components into unique pieces of art.
We will be sharing sneak peeks of their process on Instagram. The completed artwork will be showcased in the Fall.

Paula Barrantes
Paula Barrantes is a watercolourist and muralist known for her detailed and vibrant botanical art.

She later honed her skills in Canada and the United States, earning a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute.
Recently, her work has been shaped by her experience as a mother, exploring themes of growth, change, and the balance between creativity and family life. Through her art, Paula captures the essence of nature’s resilience and beauty, always with a sense of joy and connection.
