SerenityWe’ve been to Hawaii several times to visit my family. This piece reminds me of the plush greenery and serene waterscapes. I always think about how refreshing it would be to sit in the water. This painting reflects that thought and that feeling of ”Serenity”. I hope you enjoy it as much. Original art. 18x24"

About Mikki
I started drawing because my mother is an artist and was always drawing. When I saw her pull out a pencil and paper, I automatically pulled out a pencil and paper. I was her biggest fan and wanted to be just like her. As I grew older, I realized I drew for me, for my fascination of the subject. I was, and still am fascinated and awe struck by the mystery of how creation occurs. When I start a drawing, I have no idea where it’s going or how it will turn out, so I am often amazed.

Take Me to the Sea
I've been going through a new process. I create the picture I'm thinking in AI first, then paint that picture. I am also a graphic designer and that is an important part of my process. These are pictures that started out by using AI as a tool.
The Point of Nude
Nudes can sometimes be offputting, even if they're beautfully done. I love the contours and curves of the human form. I enjoy the simplicity of creating in pointillism
