About the Artist

I have been a self-representing artist for the last five years, based in a small city in New York

I offer a range of abstract acrylic paintings, limited edition paintings, oil pastel paintings, and art prints. Over the years, my space inspired and symbolic artwork has leaned toward abstract styles, while my landscape work leans toward an impressionistic style.

May my paintings strike a cord within you, feel free to check out my shop or YouTube channel Mikhayla Rene Art!

As well as being an artist, I am a Shamanic practitioner, Sound healer, and Energy Healer; for energy practices, I work through Healing Spirits Massage and Energy Services

My hope with this work is to bring peace, joy, and whimsy to those in need of it

I’m inspired by the idea that life is made up of small moments, the ones that bring us joy, curiosity, and a sense of connection. My goal is to help people reconnect with those moments, embrace their individuality, and find a little more lightness even when life feels heavy.

I aim to offer a space where you can pause, reset, and reconnect with yourself in the middle of a busy day. A place to feel supported, grounded, and at ease; where you can step away from the noise of everyday life and find a little more clarity and calm.

About Me

Growing up, I wanted to be a storyteller, a writer. So I wrote them, little short stories based on my favorite tv shows & book characters at the time. I even tried writing my own choose your own ending story, and I loved it. But I'll be the first to admit I didn't have a natural talent for writing. However, I didn’t give up on creating stories throughout my early years.

Then came early high school, still with a love for tales, deciding to draw for the first time, and it became the next thing I wanted to be: an artist. Over the next few years of honing my skills and talent for art, I realized my dream to tell and write stories could come true through something else I love: Art. Art and painting in particular became my favorite medium; still is to this day.

So now, I write little short stories to go with each painting I make, while having the best of both worlds. The ability to bring my stories to life without always needing words to tell them. This is what art means to me;  it is stories, life, memories, loves, experiences, and so much more
