About Us

Welcome to Lunar Xpressions, family owned and operated since 2021.
We are a mother/daughter team with a fleet of minions helping us along the way in our great adventures! The saying goes 'third time's a charm.' That is what Lunar Xpressions is for us, another way, another chance to use our creative abstractions and show it to those around us in the form of Xpressive and unique lighting.

Our story;
We are from Windsor, Ontario. The most common struggle families have been going through recently are the lay-offs due to COVID-19. With all this extra time, new hobbies were tested and many things were created. Then tragedy struck and we suffered the loss of our son/brother. We pay tribute to him with his urn surrounded by his greatest achievements up on a shelf, but it seemed so dimly lit being in a corner. We needed something to brighten it up just like he brightened our lives, but no ordinary lamp would do. This is when we created our first of many pipe lamps, 'The Thinker' and now it shines brightly on him as he rests.

As time went on and even more hobbies were put through the ringer, we started to dabble into 3D printing. With one of us already having a printer on hand, we kept with the lighting theme and started out with making lithophane nightlights, which then grew into the fun filled fidget and articulated toys you see us with today!

Meet the Mother-Daughter Duo

Annette Rochon, the mother (right):
Annette was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, then moved out west to the beautiful British Columbia with her husband and 4 young children. She developed a love for nature and the great outdoors while living in the mountains on 1/2 acre of land in the small community of Pinantan Lake; population 500 people. After 13 years, the wildfires struck the area, and though thankful her family home remained safe, she didn’t want to have to go through that again. The family was packed up in 2005 and moved back to Windsor, where she is now a proud Nana to 10 grandkids, living out in the county with her gardens and many animals.

Samantha Gagnon, the daughter (left):
Sam was born in Windsor Ontario and raised in that small populated community, Pinantan Lake, in British Columbia. She grew up loving the outdoors, climbing trees, playing in the mud and being a kid before the internet was really a thing. She loved to ride her bike, so joined BMX racing, winning several races in her class. She moved back to Windsor with the family in 2005 where she finished out her grade 12 year. She is now married with 3 beautiful children and works a steady job as a security guard at the local hospital.
