intermission Painting

Mechelle (aka, Miki ⚓️) is a traditional and digital artist. She loves hiking, van camping/boondocking, snorkeling, and freediving. She is currently working on her PADI L1 Freediving Certification and hopes to pursue a deeper practice in this meditative sport community in the years to come. She considers herself 'not a runner' but is training for her first marathon in late 2024 with her husband, who is a seasoned ultra runner. She loves the sea... sky, desert, forest, field, and mountains. Her two main sources of inspiration for the past decade have been the horizon (mostly coastal these days), and the illusions of stillness in nature. Her work has been described as Meditative, Simply Elegant, Arresting, 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.
