 Each semester, we have the honor of profiling some of the incredible professional artists involved in our TDM productions. Our next artist spotlight this fall shines on **Trevor Bowen**! Trevor is the costume designer for the fall TDM production, *Cells*. Learn more about Trevor’s work at [www.trevorbowendesign.com](http://www.trevorbowendesign.com)

 **What inspires you as an artist and creative?**

 I am inspired everyday as I see people move about their daily lives.

 Clothing is often a response to a stimulus, and I am endlessly fascinated by folx.

**What excites you about Cells?** Cells is very exciting as it deals with love and memory and the complex way emotions contextualize a moment in one's life.

 **What has it been like collaborating with the team on this project?**

 Collaboration on this story has been a lot of fun. I have really enjoyed chatting character analysis with the cast, and getting a sense of how they are inhabiting the roles.

 **What projects are you working on next?**

 I am working on a La Boheme that is set in contemporary Paris at MN Opera, and a three Shakespeare History cycle at the Guthrie Theater.
