MLAK

This season’s Create Not Destroy series spotlights Karlee Mackie (artist name MLAK), a professional free surfer turned artist. Her work brings to life a cast of nature and animal inspired characters, like the intuitive, feminine cat and the screen faced rider of the love dark horse, each exploring themes of identity, instinct and transformation. Deeply influenced by the natural world, Karlee’s art draws on the fluidity of creatures like snails and celebrates the wild power of feminine energy in nature.
