With Hands and Heart

A Visual Collection of Antiques and Folk Art from Eastern Ontario

by Shaun Markey and Todd Coopee

With Hands and Heart is devoted exclusively to the antiques and folk art of Eastern Ontario. Featuring more than 100 previously unpublished objects drawn from ten regional collections, the book offers a carefully documented visual record of the craftsmanship, creativity, and material history of the region.

The project was conceived in the spring of 2025. Since then, Coopee and Markey have worked with Ottawa photographer Denis Savoie to document collections across Eastern Ontario. All ten participating collectors reside in the region, many in Ottawa.

The pair previously collaborated on two antiques and folk art publications. Coopee, founder of Sonderho Press, an independent publisher of nonfiction books, said the new volume aligned directly with the press’s commitment to preserving knowledge through publication.
