Makikisart (mama and Aunt Kiki mooshed) is a self-taught artist who picked up a brush after her second child and discovered a love for painting. Often using salvaged resources within her work, she loves to create up-cycled art. Inspired by her personal battle with Bipolar I and generalized anxiety disorder, Makikisart has launched a project with her Bipolar Butterfly series to help raise awareness and end the stigma on mental illness. Focusing on the beautiful, inspiring side against the often disastrous chaos. Spending much time hiking with her family in the CVNP, her love of nature is evident in her work incorporating trees and botanicals. Makikisart now teaches a variety of classes and workshops and enjoys helping others experience the
relaxing, therapeutic benefits of creating.
