About MevA
|
Combining vintage beads from her treasure box with semi precious stones and crystals, Meva creates beautiful art that effortlessly lends itself to the wearer's personal style and taste. Every piece is an original, she is adamant that no two should be alike. Up-cycling is omnipresent in her work and gives it an eclectic flair. Just as nature, Meva regenerates and recreates herself eternally in her live-in studio, in Banff Canada. It is a treasure trove of lost and found items beautifully orchestrated with the fusion of feathers, fabrics, beads, antique jewelry, leather and yarn. The materials call her t0 deconstruct... and make a new.

"I've always seen the potential to use my creative vision for discarded items...to wear pieces of art, pairing style, functionality and individuality. It not just style it's a way of living!
I work to achieve sustainability in every possible way, this is my life...this is who I am, Meva!"

Long before up-cycling was a trend Meva saw the potential for discarded items more 24 years ago and started creating distinctive and functional pieces of art! Receiving her diploma in 1993 for Fashion Design from the Campus Notre-Dame de Foy in Quebec and wining first place at the Grand Prix d'Excellence Mode-Quebec in 1995, she gained valuable experience opening her own workshop in Quebec City. In 1998 she moved to Banff where her interests in designing jewelry became a passion. In 2005 MEVA Creative Mind was born.
