Irma Makariunaite is a mixed media collage artist. In her work, she often combines her own hand-painted papers with acrylic paint and mediums. Her mixed media mono print collages arose from one-of-a-kind prints that offered her a starting point. Collage is a tactile experience for the artist: "working with torn papers and pasting them down on a flat surface to create a layer, then applying paint and more torn papers to form another layer, provides me with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction." Irma is a graduate of OCAD and the University of Toronto. She has participated in numerous exhibitions regionally, and has also exhibited internationally. Recently, she had a solo exhibition at the Tillsonburg Station Arts Centre in 2019.
