Mikaela has been painting her whole life. She was raised by a wonderfully creative family who have always supported her life-long dream to become an artist. Her grandmother is her biggest inspiration and influence, who fed Mikaela's creative curiosity from a very young age.
With a love of everything arts, Mikaela has spent the past 7 years working as a professional singer and performer, as well as a theatre makeup artist. This has shaped her into an experienced and passionate teller of stories - in all manners of expression.
In 2018 Mikaela graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and Laws, which has deepened her interest and understanding of people and community. This interest in people as well as a love and curiosity of all things beautiful inspires much of her painting.
Mikaela's work often focuses on the subtle ways in which people show emotion - revealing itself in the eyes, in the curve of the neck, the shape of the shoulders.
Mikaela specialises in painting people and portraits.
