THE FACETS OF MICHA
mahy-kuh; (they/them); a.k.a. Mikes
THE ARTIST
The timing is hazy, but I know it started with dolphins. My art has grown from a fascination with dolphins in pencil, color, and clay; to realistic pencil drawings, watercolor, then more abstract multimedia creations. Utilitarian art intermittently takes a front seat and I crochet or create with wood or resin.
​
I seek inspiration by exploring new environments and activities, then take off in a new artistic direction.
THE ANALYZER
I love solving problems, reading all kinds of books, and seeing things from a different perspective. Books with a twist, art in a new medium, learning an expressive language, learning my grandmother's crochet stitch; all things I will take to with a passion.
Taking complex ideas and translating them into something easy to understand is something I love doing. Got a strange situation? I want to help come up with a solution. How do we move all these plants across the country? I have an idea. Need a decision matrix? I have a spreadsheet for that.
NATURE & ANIMAL LOVER
I've always been drawn to nature and happiest with my animals. From camping as a kid, planting bee-friendly flowers, and taking vacations near streams, I'm happy outside.
​
My animals are part of my family. I'm also happy to spend time with other people's animals. Cats, dogs, horses, snakes, and fish; I love them all.
