Poetic, sculpture
Rita works with clay because it allows her to express herself from a simple lump of Mother Earth. She finds clay nurturing, responsive, and grounding as a medium. She makes decisions on a form almost intuitively and enjoys the experience of a piece growing in her hands. When her creative spirit craves colour, she is led to her beads and jewelry happens.
Lisa Jewell
Innovative, textile artist
Lisa first began experimenting with a sewing machine that was handed down to her 10 years ago. Through trial and error, she first experimented in quilt-making. She recalls her love of thrift store shopping as a child with her mother. At a young age she began collecting unique bits and pieces of vintage fabrics, brooches, jewelry, and antiques.
Paul Sam
Inspired, jeweler
Paul is a jeweler with over 20 years experience. He is of First Nations decent, born into a family of artists - his mom was a painter, dad a wood carver. Paul first explored the jeweler's art form in his youth with training from his uncle. Spending his life on the West Coast towns of Ahousat and Tofino, images of indigenous animals from this area inspire his work regularily.
Jordy Hamilton
Mindful, visual artist
Jordy recently graduated from UBC with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. He is currently working along side Stefan Aftanas, Tofino's local surfboard designer, doing graphic design work and creating images to be painted on surfboards. Jordy's main interest is painting but he has spent a lot of time focusing on photography, print making and the creation of interactive installations in different locations.
Daysi Tattersall
Vibrant, illustrator
Daysi began exploring her artistic talents almost immediately in life. From crayons to acrylics and pastels, she was always able to use art as an outlet for both expression and communication. Daysi's been involved in various exciting projects including a large mural displayed on Vancouver's Sea Wall. Through Daysi's influences of Picasso, Dali, and Pollack, she's developed a very personal idiosyncratic style.
