Welcome! My name is Miles Michelle (they/them), a trans-masc nonbinary artist native to Nevada City, CA and local to Santa Cruz since 2013. I create detailed pen and ink illustrations where density and chaos intersect with structure and repetition. My work is inspired by the human body and psyche in states of distortion, the earth and the cosmos, the surreal and the horrific, and serves both as a meditation and a playground of sensory overwhelm. As a survivor of complex trauma and a person touched by Madness, through my art I strive to create meaning out of senselessness, to find joy in healing, and to bear witness to that which has been exiled.
