About
Kristina Miko Canadian Artist
​
I am a multidisciplinary artist who doesn’t restrict myself to one medium. I will use my mind and hands to use any medium such as drawing, painting, or sculpture. Expressing what I want to share with those who are interested in my artwork. My artistic interests are organic in nature. Natural environments such as forests, bodies of water, animals, and human behavior. Current works on landscapes, natural and unnatural concepts.
