Suzanne Lalonde brought a spread of her acrylic creations including ornate Lazy Susans, charcuterie boards and vessels.

“It’s a functional artwork that I make, I started with alcohol inks, then moved into resin, then moved into acrylic pouring, then I just combined it all into something I could sell at markets that is functional and not just wall hangings,” said Lalonde, creator of Art by Suzanne.

Creative Chaos runs June 3-5. For more information visit their website www.creativechaoscrafts.com
