About

Inspiris Arts is the creative passion project and small business owned by Jessica Viau, a queer woman living in Toronto, Canada.

Behind the name

Inspiris (pronounced IN-SPY-RISS) is a portmanteau of "inspire" and "iris". Blue flag irises, a symbol of Quebec, are Jessica's favourite flower. Irises are also named after the Iris, the Greek goddess of rainbows. As a proudly queer French Canadian artist who loves colour, the name is a perfect representation of her inspirations!

History

Jessica started making stained glass in June 2024 and was instantly hooked. Jessica is a fan of anything that glitters and shines and brings colour to your life. By word of mouth, Jessica has been steadily growing an online presence by creating a variety of fun designs and taking custom commissions. 

After 1 year of making and selling stained glass creations, Jessica launched an official online store on June 1, 2025. Thank you for checking out the site!!
