MEET THE ARTIST

Hi, I’m Mikyla! An illustrator and all-round creative creature living on the Gold Coast. I make art that’s playful, bright, and full of character, drawing inspiration from the little things that spark joy: a funky fish, a wonky teacup, a cozy craft or a lovely landscape.

I’m a big believer that art doesn’t have to be serious to be meaningful. My work mixes hand-drawn textures, whimsical details, and a gentle sense of humour, and I love working across different mediums to keep play at the forefront of my work.

Outside of my small home studio you’ll usually find me sketching, knitting, cooking, or sharing my process on my instagram page Mikyla Makes, my little corner of the internet dedicated to the messy and the joyful parts of making.

Ultimately I’m on a mission to delight in more, fret about less, and to inject some whimsy into the lives of as many people as possible.
