Dreamscapes: The Return of Magic in My Art

As a little one, you could always find me looking under a shrub for fairies, wrapping seaweed around my ankles to look like a beached mermaid, or telepathically speaking to the crows. Somewhere between twelve and twenty, that veil to my dreamworld went opaque, and magic was lost to me. Fast forward to my solar return—my 31st birthday—and the sparkling world that is our home planet became my reality once more. If you’d like to read more about that cognitive or spiritual shift, depending on how you see it, you can read this post.

I tell you these things because I want you to understand where my art has been slowly shifting over the last several years. With my first collection of 2025, it has firmly landed in this realm. These artworks are what I like to call Dreamscapes—paintings derived from real places but altered in a way that a certain seven-year-old mermaid might imagine.

These pieces will be heading to the Affordable Art Fair NYC, where my last collection nearly sold out. If one of them is calling to you, this may be your only chance. You can check out my Artsy page for artwork listings as well as inquire with Artspace Warehouse.

With love and flowers as always,

Michaela
