“Doing everything later in life is the best thing I could have done.” Mikki Alhart is mostly a self-taught artist with lifetime mentors, teachers and accomplished artists, being my mother and, sister. Having been a commercial and residential interior designer for seventeen years, followed by twenty one years working as a counselor was my training for the insights and fervor of my artwork today. Little did I know that by being given the rare privilege of having a glimpse of others souls that it would teach me how to illuminate the beauty of ordinary scenes. That is how my artwork received its title of “Visual Meditations.” I passionately create from a very different vantage point than exact realism in that it is the emotion and song of art that means the most to me.
My careers outside the art world diverted my attention for many years. I have been driven by a long awaited passion to express in a multitude of mediums the creative spirit of my soul. Searching for and finding that beauty is so awesome, it is beyond description.
My paintings reflect the romance and beauty of nature which inspires the soul. I am endlessly searching to show the tie between my subjects and my heart. The poetry of how I see the work is what allows my viewers to connect personally with my paintings.
The magic of the beauty created is a concert of harmony, peace, love, serenity and I hope each and every viewer is invited to experience their own “Visual Meditation.”

He who binds to himself a joy / Does the winged life destroy / But he who kisses the joy as it flies, / Lives in eternity’s sunrise.
The psychology I teach is only you, your belief, your truth; you are the expert of you. / The only healer is the sum total of you.
