I'm Laura Makiko (Mah-key-koh) Sharik, an artist from all over who now lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

Welcome to my special corner of the world.

I create evocative, abstract landscapes and organic shapes and forms inspired by nature, with nods to the mystical and fantastical. I’m interested in exploring and capturing the unique and unusual, and making art that invites you to pause, look closer and discover worlds within worlds.
