Clayton Creative Chocolates

About the Chocolate Artist, Janice Boychuk

From a young age, I was enchanted by cartoons, colouring, comic books, and the whimsical charm of Smurfs - anything cute instantly captured my imagination! I spent hours immersed in my colouring books, experimenting with paints and creating patterns with my Spirograph. In school my passion for creativity naturally led me to focus on art and design, eventually earning in a degree in graphic design. This foundation paved the way for a fulfilling 35-year career as a graphic artist and designer in the corporate world.

More recently, a long, snowed-in winter in rural Ottawa sparked the search for a new hobby. That led to an unexpected discovery; a passion for creating edible art. And so, Clayton Creative Chocolates was born - a celebration of my newfound love for painting intricate, miniature chocolates!

From creative director to chocolate artist, I've combined my years of experience as a designer and artist with the art of crafting custom artisanal chocolates.

The Art of Clayton Creative Chocolates

We treat the melted colour wafers and chocolate like paint. By experimenting with various application techniques, colour combinations and blending methods, we have a collection of truly unique and one-of-a-kind artisanal products. 

By mixing and matching custom colours, we can create a more realistic and vibrant palette. This allows us to bring elements like animals, acorns or ice cream cones to life with greater authenticity and charm.
