Original Art by Mikayla Zappacosta
My work is an invitation to pause —
a moment of stillness in a world that often rushes past us.
Inspired by adventure and exploration,
my paintings capture fleeting moments
that evoke a quiet sense of peace,
encouraging reflection rather than interpretation.
With watercolor and gouache,
I embrace the fluid, unpredictable nature of the medium.
Soft edges, shifting light, and layers that create depth
emerge naturally as I allow the paint and my mind to flow.
Each piece is meant to feel like a breath of calm,
a place where one can settle into their own thoughts,
free from distraction.
At its core, my art is about presence—
about letting go of distraction and to simply just be.
