Artist meidakeet creates watercolor artworks about girlhood, life in New York City, and her two pet parakeets. She enjoys taking snapshots of daily life and transforming them into whimsical yet relatable illustrations--most often featuring birds. When she isn't painting, you can find her practicing drawing at a coffee shop, admiring art books, and adoring all of the birds in nature.

Project Plan
"Skies of Passage" is my collection painted on eight custom wood panels with watercolor and twenty-four karat gold foil. This series traces the arc of the sky from night to sunrise. Beginning in darkness and moving toward light, each work pairs a phase of the sky with one of eight birds that have accompanied me across countries and inner transformations. The skies are painted in gradients, and gold sparkles weave continuously across all eight works, uniting them in one constellation of flight.
