Max Okay (Post Sunset Series, 001) Artwork

Mechelle (aka, Miki ⚓️) is a traditional and digital artist living alongside the Gulf of Mexico. She loves hiking, running, reading (all the genres), van camping/boondocking, snorkeling, and freediving. Mechelle is currently working on her PADI Freediving Certification and hopes to pursue an ever deepening life long practice within this meditative sport community. She loves the sea... sky, desert, forest, field, and mountains. Her main sources of inspiration for the past decade or so have been the horizon (mostly coastal these days), mythology, and the illusions of stillness in nature. Her work has been described as Meditative, Simply Elegant, Arresting, Curious, Beautifully Zen, and Contemplative. As a thalassophile... and lover of all things intracoastal and pelagic, Mechelle typically heads out to the Gulf to catch the muted cotton candy colors of the western horizon as the sun rises behind her in the east. She loves to paddleboard, film, or walk the shoreline with her rescue dogs Rogue & Rosie before starting her day in studio or on the water. Mechelle is a Taurus, and muses that it may play a role in her particular love for the shoreline, that magical place where the sea and land kiss, and together create subtle and dramatic exchanges 24/7.
