Artist Talk: Maya Noga Djiji and Adrian Kilpatrick

  • Alchemy Art Center 1255 Wold Road Friday Harbor, WA, 98250 United States (map)

Our 2022 Artist Talk Series is hosted at the San Juan Islands Museum of Art, located at 540 Spring St. Please join us for an evening of discussion and work presented by visiting and local artists. Light refreshments will be served.


Maya Noga Djiji is a visual artist from California who loves exploring different mediums. On top of her love for exploration, she also loves to use a lot of color. With her saturated palette she makes work with ceramics, textiles, glass, printmaking, and much more. Her work touches on the playful nature of magic, the delicate beauty of life, and the intricacies of death.

Maya is living and working at Alchemy Art Center in June and July as part of our Artists in Community Program. The featured image for this event is a detail of an installation created during her 2021 residency at Alchemy.


Adrian Kilpatrick is a collage and mixed media artist who is currently residing on a small island in the Pacific Northwest. His art deals with modern day alienation, surrealism, nature, politics, fantasy and dream states. His primary focus is to create an open dialogue by transporting viewers of his works to realms that parallel our own reality, and cause us to question our current human condition. Materials gathered from old picture books, magazines, and brochures found from various thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales form images that ultimately encapsulate the moods/cultures/ideologies found throughout human development and shows us the different influences that our past has over our modern day lives.
