Mikayla was raised in paradise, known to many as Southern Orange County. Since she was a kid, Mikayla shared a special connection with the environment, which eventually led her to pursue a degree in Environmental Science at the University of Arizona. Though it was an extremely hard decision to leave the California coast, she was determined to open her doors to new opportunities that would eventually lead to a career within the environmental field.

 

However,  after successfully completing her Bachelors of Sciences in 2017, Mikayla felt as if she lost a huge part of herself along the way.  Determined to rediscover her spark, Mikayla turned to art for affirmation. She stumbled across a form of fluid art using epoxy resin (the same material used to glass surfboards) and decided to spin her own twist on the medium. Bridging her passion of the environment and art, Mikayla finds her greatest inspiration in her surroundings, and strives to mimic geological rocks and coastal scenes throughout many of her pieces.

 

When she is not painting, Mikayla loves to practice yoga, bring her three dogs to Oak St. beach, and work as a Landscape designer!
