About Me

 

 

Hi, I'm Makena! I’m a self-taught artist, wife, and mom of two awesome kids.

 

My journey and story have greatly influenced how and why I create. Battling with multiple chronic illnesses has taught me resilience and the importance of managing and embracing life's challenges. Despite these hurdles, I am dedicated to achieving my dreams and creating meaningful art.

 

I am passionate about learning and celebrating other people's stories. Every individual has a unique journey, and I believe that these experiences deserve to be shared and cherished. Through my hand-painted shoes and custom-designed tee shirts, I aim to help others memorialize and express their stories in a way that is deeply personal and empowering.

 

I strive to encourage people to share their stories and recognize the importance of their experiences. My goal is to help others find the courage and strength within themselves to express their identities and narratives through art. Thanks for letting me be a part of your journey!
