Mikey is a bratty little multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver, BC. Coming from a mixed-breed mama and a Shuswap daddy, she's a wonderfully whacky little mix—combining heritage, humour, and heart into everything she creates. While tattooing is her primary medium, she thrives on exploring a wide range of artistic expressions. Her work draws inspiration from the effervescent critters of nature—beetles, butterflies, and sticky-sweet winged things—blending organic forms with bold, structured design.

 

Heavily influenced by the psychedelic poster art of the ’60s, Mikey channels the spirit of Wes Wilson, Victor Moscoso, and Bonnie MacLean, incorporating symmetrical elements, high-contrast floral motifs, and expressive typography into her work. Her designs balance intricate detail with an unmistakable sense of movement, often evoking a dreamlike, hypnotic quality.

 

Beyond aesthetics, Mikey’s work often highlights themes of mental health and community, using art as a tool for connection, self-reflection, and dialogue. She believes in fostering spaces where creativity can be a means of healing and empowerment.

 

Mikey’s work has been showcased in the Vancouver Mural Festival’s Pop-Up Art Series (2023), an initiative spotlighting queer tattoo artists in the city and cultivating creative exploration. In 2024, she exhibited three pieces with Club Soda, a Sober Arts Collective, reflecting her personal journey into sobriety. Through her art, Mikey continues to explore themes of transformation, resilience, and connection—always with a bit of a bite.
