Mary Chernoff is passionate about
inspiring others to live more artful, soulful lives
through her writing, storytelling,

As an artist and designer, I see beauty in everything, every day.
Helping others embrace the beauty inherent in the everyday fills me with joy and a deep sense of purpose. If you’re looking for more opportunities for creativity and contentment in your daily life, here is a good place to start.
Hi, I’m Mary!
I’m an interior designer by day and an artist by night. My hobbies and interests span all the arts—visual, performing, literary, and culinary. I cook, sing, sew, paint, garden, and create my way through life.
I live and create in a tiny 1930’s home in New Westminster, B.C. and enjoy writing about my various creative pursuits. I also love to engage audiences with my storytelling and public speaking.
My mission? To transform the ordinary into the extraordinary and to help others do the same.
Embark on a journey of creativity.
My blog is a collection of vignettes from my daily life and reflections on what it means to live creatively.
In here, you’ll find delicious recipes, home design tips, repurposing how-to’s, and an appreciation of all things beautiful.
Let yourself feel inspired.
“This book is about stepping outside the box. About saying ‘why not,’ about forging your own traditions and ways of living. It’s about discovering and creating your own style.”
With Inspire, interior designer, artist, and creative spirit Mary Chernoff provides readers with the encouragement to tap into our creative sides and live a more artful life.
This book is chock-full of ideas to help you connect with the beauty of your surroundings, in turn bringing you closer to your children, family, friends, and community.
A collection of insightful stories, creative tips, and detailed instructions using readily available materials and ingredients, Inspire is not just a beautiful photo-essay book but also a hands-on manual for creatives of every skill level and on any budget. It is a rumination on finding beauty in the world around us – from the art part of Mary’s heart to yours.
