About Us
​​
​Small Monday Island was originally conceived back in 2016 by founders Aranda Adams and Evelyn Goodfellow when the two wanted to find a way to share their love for the arts and various forms of creative services to the public. They began doing so in the summer of 2017 through Goodfellow Emporium, then known as Goodfellow Apothecary, where Evelyn began to sell her handmade jewelry, bath and skincare products at farmer markets. Later, in 2019, Aranda began to offer her services as a freelance artist to small businesses and personal individuals. Fall of 2022 was when their names started to gain traction as they had their first booth at Winnipeg Comic Con where they sold art and other fandom related products through Geek Like A Girl Studios.
​​
Through the years, several small studios had begun to take form to the point that the two felt it best to form a single sole proprietorship to run the numerous studios out of. Thus, Small Monday Island Creative Studios was born.​
​
Aranda and Evelyn are now pleased to announce that they have plans to open up a physical location for studios services and physical products Winter of 2025.​
The Crew
Aranda C. Adams
At the age of four, my parents took me to the theatre to watch Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”. As the prologue began, the frame zooming in from the forest into the stained glass window of the castle, I was in awe. My mother says I turned to her and said “I wanna make that.” From that moment on, I knew would be an artist.
Evelyn Goodfellow
Born and raised in the United States of America, I have always seen the world through the eyes of an artist. Inspired by various artists such as Picasso and Frida Kahlo, I started painting at a young age, doodling and colouring on anything I could get ahold of.
​​
I look forward to sharing my creative aspirations with you and others, and hope you can find joy in the just as I do.
